Instant Pot Pasta Primavera Recipes

Steps:

• Place spaghetti squash, cut-sides down, on a steaming rack inside a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add water. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 7 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Transfer squash to a plate and scrape flesh into spaghetti strands with a fork. Empty, rinse, and dry pressure cooker pot.
• Select Saute function. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the hot pot. Add onion, bell pepper, carrot, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is just tender, about 4 minutes. Add zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest; saute until zucchini is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
• Add cooked spaghetti squash strands, basil, and parsley to the pot. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and saute until combined, about 2 minutes more.

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add butter and stir until melted. Add onion and cook until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant and butter starts to burn, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with pepper.
• Carefully pour in lemon juice; pot will release steam. Add cooking wine and immediately turn pot off. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add pasta, then just enough water to barely cover it.
• Place a steamer basket on top of the pasta. Add frozen vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 2 minutes, then release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove steamer basket and stir vegetables into the pasta.
