Pressure Cooker Pasta with Mediterranean Vegetables

This pressure cooker pasta is so simple and is full of mediterranean flavour! Make it in an instant pot or electric pressure cooker and have dinner on the table in a matter of minutes. Serve with a good grating of parmesan for a delicious weeknight meal.

Can you beat a bowl of pasta for a quick weeknight dinner? It’s pretty much guaranteed to be served up in less than an hour even if you’re going for something fancier. Then we’ve got one pot pastas which just take that quick and easy status to a whole other level.

I’ve shared a few other one pot pasta recipes on the site including cheesy roasted red pepper one pot pasta, one pot pasta with chicken, spinach & mushroom and roasted beetroot one pot pasta with goat’s cheese. So when we got a pressure cooker a one pot pasta was high on my list of things to try making in there and it did not disappoint!

I’ve been really loving trying out new recipes in my pressure cooker. It’s been super helpful recently since we’ve been going out after work training for the half marathon we’re doing (which is on Sunday 😱). Will can get some food ready to go into the pressure cooker before I get home then we can go for a run and dinner will be ready when we get home, the dream!

And of course, something like this one pot pasta is the exact thing you want to eat when you’ve just got back from a run in the freezing cold. Did I mention it’s supposed to be snowing this week, IN MARCH! I am fuming.

One pot pasta was something I was really excited to try making in the pressure cooker. One pot pastas are wonderful for a number of reasons. The two main ones for me being a really quick and easy dinner and dramatically reduced amount of washing up.

It’s SO nice to be able to use just one chopping board, knife and the pressure cooker insert. As hard as I try we’re not always the best at cleaning as we go so a one pot pasta helps us to keep the mess under control.
