Ingredients

  • 1/2 large onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 6 white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1–1 1/2 cups vegan sausage or pepperoni
  • 12 oz. wheat pasta
  • 3 1/4 cups of water or vegetable broth
  • 25.5 oz ounce pasta or pizza sauce of your choice
  • 1 cup vegan mozzarella cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Set your instant pot to the sauté setting and add in your peppers, onions, and garlic. Add a splash of  teaspoon of vegetable broth and cook down for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. 
  2. Add in the mushrooms and vegan sausage and continue to cook down for about 2-3 minutes more.
  3. Add in the pasta, vegetable broth and pasta sauce and mix through until well combined. Be sure that the pasta is completely submerged in the liquid. 
  4. Set Instant Pot to manual and cook on high for 5 minutes. Once the timer goes off, quick release the pressure from the pot.
  5. Add in the vegan mozzarella cheese and mix it through. The pasta will seem a but watery at first, but if you set the Instant Pot to warm and add the lid back on for about 10 minutes, it will thicken up perfectly. Enjoy!
