Just this past week we scored some really nice tomatoes and portobello mushrooms in our CSA bag – and since we were in a hurry to go to a finance meeting last night we figured it would be a great way to make a quick dinner with pasta.
We used our Instant Pot for that, and we pick up Pasta every month at Costco (6 packs to a bulk package for just over $1 per bag). It’s easy, kids love it and it took less than 15 minutes to make. The pasta was just a mere 6 minutes in the Instant Pot. Crazy -right?
