Instructions
 

  • Turn your instant pot to sauté mode. Heat oil and add the onions and cook till translucent.
  • Add crushed garlic and salt and crushed red pepper and optional cayenne pepper.
  • Add the sauce and 1/2 the basil. Turn off sauté mode.
  • Add the water and stir.
  • Add the pasta and lightly submerge in the sauce slightly. Don’t push it all the way down.
  • Turn on manual high pressure for 7 minutes and 6 minutes natural pressure release. Turn it off and stir.
  • Now add the cream and the ricotta cheese, save a little for the top and stir. It should now be thickening up.
