School has started and so has soccer and gymnastics.  This time of year is crazy busy and that means finding easy recipes that the kids enjoy so much it doesn’t take them an hour to eat it.

I love finding kid-friendly Instant Pot recipes that I can make in a flash for those busy school nights. If you haven’t tried pasta in your pressure cooker, you need to! Our Crack Chicken Pasta is one of our most popular recipes here on amomsimpression!

This cheesy taco pasta is also very budget friendly.  The kids and I figured that this entire meal cost us about $8 and there was enough left over for lunch the next day!

    For some reason my instant pot said burn when I made this recipe. I deglazed the pan after I sautéed everything. Any thoughts?

      Did you stir the pasta into the sauce before you set the pressure? The noodles need to stay on top of everything and then stirred in after cooking. That pesky burn notice is extremely frustrating… I’m so sorry.
