Step One: Saute The Meat

Press the saute function on the Ninja Foodi, then add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, add the ground beef, salt, dried basil, Italian seasoning, and diced onions.

Continue to saute until the meat is fully browned, add in the minced garlic, and saute for another 30 seconds.

Pour in the beef broth, and a jar of sauce, and use a wooden spoon, to mix well. Break your pasta noodles in half. Then lay them on top of your sauce in a crisscross fashion. Press down on the noodles, until they are submerged in the liquid.

Add your pressure lid, set high pressure, and set the cooking time for 3 minutes, when the time is up, do a natural release for 3 minutes, then do a quick release., to return the remaining pressure.

Tips For Cooking Pasta In The Ninja Foodi

Monitor the progress of your pasta closely; if it’s too al dente or too soft you can always adjust your cooking time accordingly.
If you’re making a sauce to accompany the pasta be sure to add it near the end of cooking time to avoid sticking or burning.
You can substitute the 4 cups of beef broth for 4 cups of water. I use broth, as it adds additional flavor.
For an even more flavorful dish, try adding fresh herbs and spices like basil, onion powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes before crisping up your pasta in Ninja Food. You can even add extra veggies, like bell peppers, and mushrooms.
For a heartier meal, add some cooked proteins such as shredded chicken, ground beef, or Italian sausage.

What Is The Best Pasta For Pressure Cooking

Pasta is a staple ingredient in Italian cuisine and one of the world’s favorite comfort foods. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also easy to cook. If you are looking for a quick, delicious dinner option, pressure-cooking pasta could be just what you need! Pressure cooking cuts down on the time spent waiting for your pasta to boil so that you can enjoy all the flavors and textures of traditional pasta dishes.

Some of the best pasta for pressure cooking are:

Spaghetti
Linguini
Fettuccini
Pasta Shapes

The key to cooking pasta in a pressure cooker is not to stir it, and lay it on top of the marinara sauce, in a criss cross pattern.

Avoiding The Burn Notice

Here are some tips to avoid the burn notice on the Ninja Foodi:

Avoid overcooking foods that require a quick cook time, like pasta or vegetables.
Try to fill the pressure cooker with enough liquid so that it doesn’t evaporate quickly and cause a burn warning.
After cooking, be sure to vent the pressure cooker completely before opening the lid.
Be sure to a quick stir food regularly throughout the cooking process to prevent sticking and burning on the bottom of the pot.
If you do get a burn warning, turn off the heat and let it cool down for at least 15 minutes before trying again.

How To Store

Let your pasta cook to room temperature, and then transfer it to an airtight container. It will last in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

How To Reheat Leftover Pasta In Ninja Foodi

Here are some tips for reheating leftover pasta in the Ninja Foodi:

Add a small amount of liquid to the pot, such as water or broth, so that the pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom and burn.
Turn the heat up to medium-high and bring the liquid to a simmer before adding in your leftover pasta.
Cook for about 5 minutes with the lid off until heated through, stirring occasionally.
If you need more time, turn down the heat and simmer for an additional few minutes.
Serve hot with your favorite sauce or topping.

Low Carb Option
