15 ounces of ricotta cheese

1 Egg

1-pound lean ground beef

4 c mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided (about 1 pound)

1 tbsp Italian seasoning

2 c water

8 ounces jumbo pasta shells (conchiglie pasta)

24 ounces pasta sauce

1/2 c Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp salt

Directions:

Press the “Sauté” button on your Instant Pot. Add the ground beef, then cook for about 10 minutes or until crumbly and brown. Sprinkle the seasonings and salt to taste. Stir to combine.

In a mixing bowl, add 3 cups of mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Beat everything until well incorporated. Move the mixture inside a piping bag. Fill each of the pasta shells with it.

Remove any accumulated fat from the Instant Pot, then add 1/4 cup of water. Scrape the bottom to get the browned bits.

Place the stuffed pasta shells on top of the ground beef and arrange them in a single layer.

Add the pasta sauce and water. Make sure not to stir.

Cover and seal the pot, then press the “Manual” button and cook for about 8 minutes on a high setting. Let the pressure release quickly.

Add the rest of the cheese, then cover the pot again and allow it to melt for a few minutes. Give a nice stir just to combine.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge. They can last up to 3 days or 3 months in the freezer. Reheat for a few minutes before serving again.

¼ tsp salt

For the Pie Filling:

1 c shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

a handful of basil leaves, julienned

pepper

¾ c mayonnaise

salt

1 medium onion, diced

1 (6 oz) package of crumbled feta cheese

1 clove of garlic, minced

Directions:

For the Tomatoes:

Slice the tomatoes into thin cuts. Put them into a colander and sprinkle salt on top. Drain them while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

For the Pie Crust:

In the food processor, add salt and flour. Pulse a few times to incorporate.

Slice the butter into small cubes and put them into the food processor with the flour mixture. Pulse again to combine.

Add a bit of water, then pulse again until a dough forms.

Sprinkle flour onto a flat surface, then place the dough on it. Use your hands to shape it into a ball. Wrap it with plastic and refrigerate for half an hour.

For the Filling:

Place a skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add olive oil and allow it to become hot. Add the onions and cook for a few minutes until a bit caramelized.

Add the garlic and sauté for about a minute or just until aromatic. Stir in salt to season. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the mixture to cool.

Remove the tomatoes from the colander and pat them dry with paper towels.

In a mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and mayonnaise. Stir to combine.
