Instant Pot Penne in Cajun Mustard Cream Sauce

Don't use gluten free noodles in instant pot

Might add onions next time

Unfortunately I was serving two 20-something men... So what was supposed to be six servings turned out to be three! But they enjoyed it. I added sauteed shrimp at the end thinking it would go nicely with the Cajun.

Amazing and simple. I added bacon to it.

This was delicious. I did need to add just a touch more broth for my Ninja Foodi to be happy, but it still turned out great! My husband had also mentioned that he wanted the dish to have a little more kick so I added some "slap yo mama" Cajun seasoning as well.

The pasta/sauce was bland but the sausage was spicy. I added Parmesan cheese on top to give it a little more flavor without adding spice, that helped.

Was really good. I cooked it in the oven at 300° I'm not sure how long. I didn't time it. I did it low and slow in a dutch oven.

I was looking for something quick and easy, and this popped up. It's an Instant Pot dish, and other than the sausage, it is predominantly a dump dish. I doubled the Cajun seasoning as I always find spicy dishes bland. I also was unable to find andouille sausage so used mild chorizo instead. It was still bland. Hubs did not like the chorizo, although I do. I would likely make it again as I like quick and easy, especially when I'm short on time, but definitely sub the sausage for Italian sausage and ricotta for the cream cheese. Definitely more seasoning, and maybe some dried chilies.

Added more cajun seasoning, chicken broth and garlic salt. Easy, quick, good with the extra seasoning.

Would’ve done a tad less mustard but otherwise good dish! The flavor is unique but delicious.

Brown sausage first and maybe add some chicken.

I added some Chipotle pepper to spice it up a little. I also put some evaporated milk with the cream cheese. The dish tasted great 😊👍

This was really tasty! I added some shrimp at the end in the sauté stage for some extra protein. Penne turned out just right.

Too "spicy" for me, but my partner loved it!!

Noodles got soggy and stuck to the bottom, not sure why

Awesome recipe. Soooo easy and sooo yummy! Start with a GOOD Cajun seasoning blend and you can’t go wrong here. I sautéed the slices of andouille in the instant pot first, then removed them with a slotted spoon, then used the broth to deglaze and continued on with the recipe as written with the andouille off to the side. I had a single chicken breast I needed to use too, so I sliced it into two thinner halves and grilled it earlier today (marinated 1hr with Cajun seasoning, oil, lemon, garlic) and just kept that in the fridge until dinner. Then while the pasta was cooking I sliced it up, and tossed it in along with the andouille after releasing the pressure. Then I let that heat up a minute before adding the cream cheese and mustard. Will make this again and again. I don’t have much of a choice, TBH. My spicy-food-loving 9yr old daughter was a HUGE fan.

Bit spicy. Cut back on chili powder. Added a little heavy cream at the end. Would make again.
