Ingredients
- Stage 1
- 500 g / 17 oz elbow pasta (we love this brand)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, diced
- 1 cup / 250 ml tomato passata or diced, tinned tomatoes
- 4 cups water (1 L)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes (optional, can be less)
- Stage 2
- 10-12 black olives, sliced
- 10 sun-dried tomato halves, sliced (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, diced roughly
- 1 cup almond milk or regular milk
- 1/4 cup tomato passata
- 1 cup grated cheddar or other strong cheese
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

- 4 tablespoons of fried shallots like these
- Basil or parsley to garnish with, optional
Directions
-
age 1.Combine everything in the inner pot, stir through and pop the lid on top. Lock and set to Manual, High for 4 minutes. After 3 beeps, the Instant Pot will start the cooking process. Once the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes and then use the quick release method to let off the rest of the steam. Don’t leave the natural release for too long as that will keep cooking the pasta and you risk having a soggy mess!
-
age 2. Add the diced olives, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, milk, extra tomato passata and half of the grated cheese to the pasta, and press the Sauté function key. Stir together for a minute or so, until the cheese has melted into the pasta. Add the rest of the cheese and stir in again for 30 seconds or so. Turn the Instant Pot off and serve the pasta topped with chopped green onions and fried shallots on top. You can add some basil or other herbs as well.
