Instant Pot, Easy Dump Meal, Pasta and Meat Sauce
Hi, everyone!!
I have been busy this week coming up with fast pasta dinners, that you can get in and out in a hurry, because if you are like me, once the nice weather comes, I am ready to get outside. Whether it is heading to a hockey game, to watch my child play or simply by taking a walk. I’m sure someone out there is like me, because I keep on finding myself eating more and more takeout, so today, I sat down and came up with a menu this week, that’s fast and healthy.
I am trying to come up with dinners that are:
- Nutritious
- I don’t have to go to 100 stores for ingredients.
- Everyone eats one meal (that’s a huge one in our house)
- Fast, fast and fast.
I grew up in an Italian household, we literally had pasta at every meal, whether it was the main course or just aside, we ate it every day. My mother and grandmother used to make it homemade, which is amazing, and I can literally still taste it in my mouth, It brings back amazing memories. Pasta is extremely quick and versatile, and to be honest, it comes out amazing in the Instant Pot (Pressure Cooker).
So, today, I start my own 5-day journey with pasta. So, if you are looking for easy pasta recipes, come back and check them out. Otherwise, you can check my daily posts on my Facebook page ForkToSpoon.
