Our favourite Stuffed Shells with Meat Sauce, Instant Pot version. No need to pre-cook the pasta, just pipe the filling into the pasta shells, and dump everything into the Instant Pot. Same goodness, less the work.

INGREDIENTS

1 pound lean ground beef

1 tsp salt

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp Italian seasoning

15 ounces ricotta cheese

1 Egg

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

1/2 c. Parmesan cheese

8 ounces Conchiglioni pasta/ jumbo pasta shells

2 c. water

24 ounces pasta sauce

HOW TO MAKE INSTANT POT STUFFED SHELLS WITH MEAT SAUCE

Brown the meat:

Step 1: Ready the Instant Pot. Set it to Saute.

Step 2: Add the ground beef, salt, and seasonings to the IP once the display reads “HOT”. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to break the meat apart.

Cheese Filling:

Step 1: Combine the ricotta cheese, egg, parmesan cheese, and 3 cups of mozzarella cheese in a medium bowl. In a piping bag with a round tip, transfer the mixture. Or place in a ziplock bag, cutting one corner.

Step 2: With the cheese mixture, fill the pasta shells.

Step 3: If needed, drain the browned meat. In the bottom of the pan, evenly spread the meat.

Assemble:

Step 1: Over the meat, layer the filled pasta shells.

Step 2: Pour over the water, then the pasta sauce but do not stir.

Step 3: Cover with the lid and seal. Set the IP to “Cook/Manual”. Cook for about 8 minutes on high.

Step 4: When done, turn the valve to venting carefully to do a quick release, then open the lid.

Step 5: Sprinkle the rest of the 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Close the lid again to allow the cheese to melt. This takes about 3 minutes.

Step 6: Now, open the lid and gently stir.

Step 7: Serve and enjoy!
