Instant Pot Cajun Pasta
I love quick and easy dinners, which is why I LOVE the Instant Pot! How did I survive for years without one?!?! If you are looking for a Christmas idea for friends/family, I highly recommend gifting an Instant Pot! A few years ago, I bought my mom one for Christmas and now she is hooked like me!
Last night, I was short on time due to school schedules, tumble class, and homework duty. I needed something fast and easy! Luckily, earlier in the day I had defrosted some smoked sausage, so I was able to cut it up, add a few more ingredients, turn on the Instant Pot, and BAM….dinner was cooking!
The one question I tend to get the most when posting Cajun recipes is….”will this be too spicy”? Let me assure you, the recipe as written will NOT be too spicy…in fact, my kids said it was mild compared to a few other dishes I made and my hubby suggested I add more spice to it next time, ha-ha!
This Easy Instant Pot Cajun Pasta was served with my Cheddar Bay Biscuits and a fresh, fruit salad, but you can serve it with just about anything!
The best part, we got to enjoy the leftovers for lunch today and it was just as tasty (if not more because it absorbed the sauce even more)!
If you like quick and easy meals, you have come to the right place!
