WHAT’S IN THIS INSTANT POT PASTA?

We have tested this recipe with both fresh/refrigerated and frozen ravioli. While we prefer fresh, frozen is infinitely more affordable (at least half the price!), and still works great. Frozen ravioli is easy to keep on hand and is a low-cost freezer essential. Just a head’s up that the final texture will be a bit softer, but just as delicious.

Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

  • I do not recommend that you adjust the water that is called for in the recipe. Any less and you risk a “burn notice” with your pressure cooker, especially with the newer/more finicky models. If the sauce you use is on the watery-side, you can thicken the dish after it cooks with a bit of tomato paste. 
  • This recipe has not been tested with gluten-free ravioli and results cannot be guaranteed.
  • Do not defrost frozen ravioli prior to adding it to the Instant Pot.
  • If you’d like to add meat to your sauce, it needs to be cooked ahead of time (we use this Whole30 Breakfast Sausage recipe). You can cook in the Instant pot on saute until cooked through. Just make sure to deglaze (aka scrape) any stuck-on food from the insert prior to cooking. The cooking time for the rest of the dish remains the same.
  • This dish will thicken overnight in the fridge.

  1. I did this with Kite Hill Ravioli. 1 minute is definitely not enough time to cook. it, so I did a total of 4 minutes which was better.
