Sausage Pasta in the Instant Pot

Who doesn’t like a good Instant Pot pasta recipe? This one uses the classic combination of rich and flavourful Italian sausages with peppers and rapini. A delicious combination if you ask me! This comes together so quickly that it’ll surely become a weeknight staple. This sausage pasta can easily be made gluten free with gluten free fussili if you can get your hands on in many grocery stores. I hope you enjoy this recipe that uses the best summer veggies have to offer!

This gluten and dairy-free shepherd’s pie recipe comes together in one pot – the Ninja Foodi! This is the more North American version using ground beef and vegetables as opposed to the traditional Irish version using leftover roast lamb. Some call my version here a Cottage Pie

No strainers are required here as the mashed potatoes are pressure cooked, the filling is pressure cooked and then crisped up to perfection all in one appliance. Hope you enjoy this easy ground beef shepherd’s pie. Add this one to your list of one pot meals.

Revisiting Ireland
Revisiting Ireland

The influence of Irish culture is very strong in Canada but I never thought I would end up going to Ireland until I found the mecca of cooking schools was situated there. I trained at the Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland. It was for their 12 week intensive where you live on their 100 acre organic farm and learn the nitty gritty of all things farm to table. Basically, it was a 2 year college program condensed into 3 months.
