Instant Pot Pasta – Easy Gluten Free Meal Prep!
This Instant Pot Pasta is vegan, gluten free, and soy free. And guess what! It only takes 4 minutes (under pressure) to cook!
Can I use a different kind of pasta?
Yes, you can use a different kind of pasta, but I would stick to sedanini or pasta of a similar size, like penne or cavatappi. Spaghetti noodles will not cook correctly for this Instant Pot Pasta recipe. Lentil pasta also tends to hold up better in the Instant Pot, while other types of pasta may turn out mushy.
- 1 1/2 tbsp oil
- 2 onions, diced
- 2 bell peppers, diced
- 6 clove garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 4 zucchini, chopped
- 4 cup water

Set Instant Pot to sauté and add oil.
Once hot, add chopped onions and bell peppers.
When onions are translucent, add minced garlic.
When garlic is fragrant, add mushrooms.
Once mushrooms have cooked down, add in zucchini and season with salt and pepper.
Add water and stir well.
Pour pasta over vegetables, but do not stir.
Top pasta with pasta sauce.
Put the lid on the Instant Pot and set to sealing. Pressure cook for 4 minutes.
