Equipment

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Farfalle pasta
  • 4 cups Water
  • 15 ounce Canned coconut cream
  • 2 cups Baby spinach
  • ⅓ cup Fresh basil torn or sliced
  • 1 cup Sundried tomatoes drained
  • ½ tablespoon Garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • Begin by turning on the instant pot and adding 16 ounces of pasta along with 4 cups of water. 
  • Select pressure cook and set the timer to 5 minutes (on high pressure).
  • Close the lid and set the valve to sealing. The Instant Pot will take a few minutes to come to pressure, then it will count down 5 minutes. 
  • Once the 5 minute timer is over, set the valve to venting and release the steam until the floating pin drops. 
  • Then, open the lid and stir the pasta and make sure none is sticking. 
  • Set the Instant Pot to 'keep warm.’
  • Next, add coconut cream, fresh torn or sliced basil, fresh baby spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. 
  • Combine and stir until spinach is fully wilted and no excess cooking liquid remains. 
  • Once fully cooked, the final step is just to add the salt and garlic powder. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. 
  • Add to a bowl and enjoy!
