I couldn't find ricotta so I'm gonna use cream cheese. I hope it works.

This recipe was outstanding! I omitted the ricotta cheese, added mozzarella instead and it was just spectacular! Yum!

Made this today for my family. It was so good. I would definitely recommend and make it again. There are two things I changed though. I use twisted cedar wine and did two dollops of ricotta cheese.

In reply to Debbie L.. It is always a good sign when you have to stop yourself from overeating! Thank you for sharing how much you enjoyed this recipe and I hope you turn to it again in the future!

This was so so good. I used a pound of Jimmy Dean spicy pork sausage and followed the recipe except for the wine. My husband and I both loved it, but it is pretty rich so we had to keep ourselves from eating too much. That's hard when it tastes so good. We had leftovers for a couple more meals. Look forward to making it again. One thing I love about the instant pot and pasta is not having to have a big pot of boiling water on the stove to cook the pasta.

In reply to Vanessa C. Hi Vanessa! I am sorry you had issues with the conversions. For the pasta use 4 & 1/2 cups of dried noodles. For the diced tomatoes use 411 grams or 2 cups. For the spaghetti sauce use 680 grams or 3 cups. For the ricotta use 1 cup. I hope that helps!

I think this would be great according to the comments, and the flavour was good, but unfortuntely it didnt turn out well for me because I messed up the conversions (basically it was soup!) . I am wondering if you could post the measurements in cups for dry pasta, and either cups or mls for canned tomatos/ sauce? Thank you so much!

Can this be doubled if I am using an 8qt instant pot?

In reply to Say. Hi Say! I would love to help you troubleshoot. Did you use the exact amounts per the recipe of all the ingredients? What type of noodle did you use? Did you do a quick release after exactly 5 minutes had passed? Let me know and I will see if I can help you to NOT have that issue again :)

In reply to Susan. Hi Susan! Never feel bad about asking, you can ask any questions at any time! Once you saute the meat, remove it from the inner pot. Then add the broth and scrape up all those browned bits on the bottom of the inner pot--super important to prevent a burn notice. Then Layer the pasta, cooked meat, diced tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, and ricotta cheese in that order in the inner pot and proceed with the recipe for cooking. Enjoy!

In reply to Jen.

Hi, so to add sausage, aer saute-ing it, do I leave the sausag in, or do I add it back un after the pasta is cooked? Forgive me for asking. I am just a college kid new to instant pot cooking.

This was the best instant pot pasta I’ve ever made. I added extra ground beef and the whole family loved it. Winner! 👍
