Instant Pot Ground Pork and Pasta

To say that I love my Instant Pot would be an understatement.  I love, love, love my Instant Pot.  Whenever I want an easy dinner, a dinner that I don’t have to stand over the stove watching it, or peeking into the oven to check doneness, I turn to the Instant Pot.  Some weeks, I cook entirely from it.  Last week was one of those weeks.  So much to do and stress over, that I needed cooking to be easy.  What I love about the Instant Pot is that it can do almost anything I ask of it.  One dish pasta meals are now my go to.  I found this recipe in one of my favorite Instant Pot cookbooks, The Great Big Pressure Cooker Book.  I can’t say enough good things about that book, with 500 easy recipes, there is something for everyone!

I don’t use a lot of peanut butter in my cooking, but this recipe has me rethinking that!  The combination of peanut butter, soy sauce, sambal oelek, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar is amazing.  It all blends together in a completely unique flavor.  I also love that everything, including the pasta cooks together.  Instead of trying to coat the pasta with sauce, the pasta picks up so much flavor as it cooks in the sauce!
