One Pot Pressure Cooker Veggie Pasta

I absolutely love one pot meals. And, with the pressure cooker, its not only less clean-up, its made in literally less than half the time. With the pressure cooker, you no longer have to wait for the water to boil, boil the pasta, strain the pasta and cook the veggies separate when making a pasta dish. Everything is done in one pot in less than 10 minutes!

When making a fresh vegan pasta dish, use whatever is in season or whatever you have on hand. I like to cook with a lot of different colors, making sure I get a variety of vitamins and nutrients. I don't add oil to any of my dishes and this dish doesn't need it! 

 

With this recipe, I literally dump and stir. I add the sauce and any seasonings in along with the pasta and all of the veggies. I give everything a good mix.

I wait until everything is mixed to add the water. You want to add just enough water to barely cover the pasta. Remember, the pressure cooker keeps all of the moisture in and the veggies will give off some of its own juices too, so you don't want to go overboard on the water.

  

Pasta is ready in literally 10 minutes!! I love my pressure cooker and I'm always finding ways to use it in my recipes.

Once it's done cooking, give it a good stir and bon appetit!
