It’s super simple and great for busy nights. Super easy to keep these ingredients on hand as well.

My oldest came up with this recipe and I love it! She has a Ninja Foodie so after she pressure cooks, adds the sauce and cheese she sprinkles extra on top and used the bake feature to melt and brown the top!

This recipe doubles well also, it may take a little longer to come up to pressure so just be aware of that.

“This is obnoxiously cheesy and I love it”

Direct quote from my middle daughter! I will admit I might have gone a little overboard on mozzarella but then again is that really possible? Too much cheese really isn’t a thing in my book!

Tips:

  • The recipe below calls for ground beef hamburger – you could totally use sausage, ground pork, ground turkey, or ground chicken
  • I use penne pasta, but use your favorite tube or spiral pasta.
  • I used parmesan and mozzarella, feel free to shake it up a bit and use different cheeses!
  • If you have a Ninja Foodie you can use the bake feature to brown the top.

  • 16 ounce box of penne pasta

Instructions

  • Now add the heavy cream, garlic powder and the pasta - make sure all the pasta is covered by the liquod.
  • Place the lid on making sure the vent is set to seal and set pressure cook time set to 6 minutes.
  • Once cooking time is done allow to natural release for another 6 minutes than manual release carefully.
  • Carefully stir and add the spaghetti sauce, parm cheese and 1 cup shredded mozzarella - stir to combine completely and serve!

    We love this recipe in our house! We have made it many times, and will continue to keep it on rotation. We have a little one, and she loves it as well. As parents of a young one, we love how easy it is to cut up the penne pasta to give her a bowl and fork. Thanks for a great recipe!
