So every Summer we go camping with both sides of the family and plan to make pizzas in the hobo pie makers. And every year we never get to making them because we eat so much that by the time its time for a fire, we are all full! So needless to say I always come home with marinara sauce, pepperoni, and lots of cheese. So I like to make this Instant Pot Pizza Pasta with those ingredients.

This pizza pasta is a perfect easy weeknight meal and perfect for back to school! I have made this several times on the stove top then baked the cheese in the oven. This time I was trying to throw it together before heading into work so I used the Instant Pot for an all in one pot meal. And it turned out just as good.

So- set the IP to Sautee function then add the ground beef or Italian sausage works great in this dish. Add the garlic and bell pepper and sauté until the meat is browned.

Sautee and add the red pepper flakes, basil, pepperoni, and marinara sauce.

Pour the noodles in then add the water. Seal and lock and high pressure cook for 12 minutes.. Manual release the steam and stir. Add cheese and cover until cheese is melted.
