Instructions
- Turn Instant Pot on SAUTE. Add olive oil, Italian Sausage (bulk, not the links), and diced onion. Cook until sausage is crumbled and browned (about 8-10 minutes). Turn the pressure cooker off.
- Add broth to the pot with sausage and using a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the pot to remove all the bits of browned meat (this is called deglazing, and when done correctly will prevent a burn notice).
- Add Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, and stir everything together.
- Add fresh mushrooms and green pepper, DO NOT STIR. Add the uncooked pasta and DO NOT STIR.
- Pour both jars of sauce over the uncooked pasta, without stirring, and spread so no pasta is visible. DO NOT STIR.
- Top with slices of mini pepperoni.
- Secure the lid and make sure the valve is set to SEALING. Select HIGH PRESSURE or MANUAL and set a cook time of 4 minutes. The pot will take a while to come under pressure because of the large number of contents.
- When the cooking time ends, do a quick release of pressure by moving the valve on top to VENTING.
- Once the pressure is released, open the lid away from your face, and stir everything together. Add black olives and cheese, stir, and serve hot.
