This Instant Pot penne pasta dish is perfect for casual entertaining, because it’s quick and so easy, and doesn’t require a lot of babysitting, so you can visit with your guests instead of worrying about a pot boiling over.
Barilla is the #1 choice of Italy for a reason; it’s an authentic Italian food brand that makes a perfect match for your pastas and sauces. It’s high-quality and wholesome, and a great choice for all occasions.

Barilla is always the first choice at our house. Once I get my Instant Pot, I’ll have to try out this recipe! Thanks.
I’m confused by the use of “OR” after the additions here.
Also, if I double this to use the entire box of penne, how many peppers, etc., do you suggest?
Thank you!
PS: I see on my desktop that that is QR not OR. I know QR. Still want to know about doubling this, tho! Thanks!
Hi! I’m not sure about doubling it… you need to be careful with stuff like pasta because it tends to bubble up quite a bit inside and you don’t want to overfill the pot before it’s pressurized. I’d just experiment to see how it goes with what’s called for first, and maybe add stewed tomatoes at the end if I needed more bulk.
