Instructions

Step 1

Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the sausage and break it up. Add in the onions. Brown for about 4 minutes. Add in the mushrooms and cook for 2 more minutes. Add in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

Step 2

Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the penne evenly. Add in the Italian seasoning, marinara sauce, sugar and peppers. Don’t stir.

Step 4

Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 2 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5-10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.

Step 5

Stir in the spinach and half of the mozzarella. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top and let it melt (I used my air fryer lid to melt it).
