One-Pot Tortellini<\/strong> in the Instant Pot is an easy, family-friendly vegetarian recipe that\u2019s made with your favorite stuffed pasta in a cheesy tomato sauce with baby spinach.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2764\ufe0f Why you’ll love it:<\/strong> Instant Pot Tortellini with tomato-spinach sauce is a satisfying one-pot recipe that goes from frozen to finished in 15 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tortellini is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. Whether it\u2019s filled with meat or cheese, everyone is always happy to dig into piping hot bowls of tortellini. And while it\u2019s easy to cook up frozen or fresh tortellini on the stovetop, you always have to make a separate sauce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s why I decided to combine the sauce and pasta into a one-pot tortellini recipe for the Instant Pot. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n You get all of the rich, well-developed flavors of a long-simmered tomato sauce. However, this recipe has a 2 minute cook time, and there\u2019s no need to boil water for the tortellini! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n This One-Pot Tortellini recipe<\/strong> will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The great thing about this recipe is that there are no special tricks or strategies to pull it off. This is a fantastic recipe for beginners\u2013\u2013it\u2019s as simple as dump and go. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Simply combine all of the ingredients in the pressure cooking pot, lock the lid in place, and after a 2-minute cook time at high pressure, you can release the pressure and reveal your bubbling hot, deeply flavorful dinner! <\/p>\n\n\n\n While you can enjoy the pasta as-is when you remove the lid, I like a slightly thicker sauce coating my pasta. If you do too, then stir in a quick slurry of cornstarch and water to thicken up the dish a bit. It takes just a few minutes, and you can do this while the spinach cooks down into the sauce. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n This recipe is based on the creamy sausage tortellini recipe in our Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to add a little more protein to this meal, add sausage for a richer, smokier flavor. To do so, brown the sausage in the pressure cooking pot on the Saut\u00e9 function before you add the remaining ingredients. Then follow the recipe as written. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You could also swap cheese tortellini for your favorite meat-filled pasta with no changes to the recipe. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n If you end up with leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. I don\u2019t recommend freezing the cooked tortellini, as the texture may not hold up well after defrosting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When I made this at home, we ended up eating all the tortellini but had leftover sauce. My oldest specifically asked me to save the extra sauce to eat on pasta the next day for lunch! It\u2019s that good!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Instant Pot Pasta<\/a> is SOOO easy!<\/strong> Try these other kid-approved recipes next:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you LOVE this recipe? <\/strong><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
