Make the best Instant Pot 5 Cheese Baked Ziti<\/strong> with marinara and alfredo sauce that\u2019s even better than Olive Garden\u2019s and incredibly easy!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2764\ufe0f Why You\u2019ll Love This Recipe<\/strong>: This 5 Cheese Ziti is a family-friendly dinner that\u2019s quick and easy, thanks to your Instant Pot. It uses two kinds of jarred sauce to make things simple and has a crisp bread crumb crust for texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We love Olive Garden\u2019s five cheese ziti. It\u2019s a family favorite because it has the best of both worlds: savory tomato sauce and rich and creamy alfredo. Not to mention all the gooey layers of melted cheese. So we had to make our own version in an Instant Pot. It\u2019s fast and easy and even better than take-out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n This Instant Pot Baked Ziti 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 If you have the time, you can also make your own sauces. We have an easy Instant Pot marinara sauce recipe here<\/a>. And here\u2019s a great recipe for alfredo sauce from Foodie Crush<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The five cheeses in this recipe are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Together, this mixture of fresh and aged cheese strikes the right balance between creamy texture and sharp, salty flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, if you can\u2019t find one of the five, you can substitute it with another cheese. For best results, parmesan and pecorino are good subs for each other. Ricotta is best substituted with whole milk cottage cheese. And mozzarella and provolone can be substituted for one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, you can certainly make this recipe with penne or another short pasta shape. See our complete guide to cooking pasta in the Instant Pot<\/a>. We use this rule of thumb to find the right cooking time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n (The box’s recommended cooking time \u00f7 2) – 1 minute<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The best part about this dish is the crispy and savory bread crumb topping. You can crisp up the baked ziti using an air fryer lid if you have one. Otherwise, your oven broiler will do the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re using the oven, be sure to keep a close eye on the pasta. All broilers differ, so you may need more or less time to get the perfect golden crust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are plenty more easy recipes in our pressure cooker pasta recipe archive<\/a><\/strong>, including these favorites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you LOVE this recipe? <\/strong><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
