Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
¾ cup finely chopped yellow onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
½ cup vodka
2 ½ cups water
1 (16 ounce) package uncooked penne pasta
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
½ cup heavy cream
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Select High temperature setting, and preheat the pot for 1 to 2 minutes. Add butter and oil. Add onion and cook, stirring constantly, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and crushed red pepper, and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute.

Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 4 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. Stir in cream and Parmesan cheese; let stand for 3 minutes. Stir in pepper.
