Ingredients
- 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 12 ounces uncooked rigatoni or large tube pasta
- 1-1/2 cups frozen peas
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat or feta cheese
- Thinly sliced fresh basil, optional
Directions
- Select saute or browning setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker; adjust for medium heat. Cook sausage until no longer pink, 4-6 minutes, breaking into crumbles. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add tomato paste; cook and stir until meat is coated, 1-2 minutes. Press cancel. Stir in next 5 ingredients; pour in water.
- Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on low for 6 minutes. Quick-release pressure. Stir in cream; heat through. Top with cheese and, if desired, fresh basil.
