The Instant Pot Creamy Spinach and Corn Pasta is a comforting, creamy pasta dish made with fresh spinach and sweet corn in a mild pasta base. This One Pot Pasta is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pasta (I used Penne)
- 2 cups Spinach (chopped)
- 1 cup Sweet Corn Kernels (I used frozen)
- 2 & ½ cups Water / Vegetable Broth
- 2 tablespoon Butter / Oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper Powder to taste
- ¼ teaspoon Red Chilli Flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to SAUTE mode.
- When the pot gets HOT, add butter or oil. Once melted, add the minced garlic and chopped onions. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant and onions are translucent.
- Add the spinach and sweet corn kernels. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the pasta, salt and water or vegetable broth. Stir everything together to ensure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
- Cancel SAUTE mode, secure the lid, and set the Instant Pot to PRESSURE COOK on high for 4 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is complete, quickly release the pressure.
- Open the lid and switch to SAUTE mode. Add the fresh cream, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and black pepper powder. Stir well until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
- If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more water to reach your desired consistency. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve the creamy spinach corn pasta hot, garnished with extra grated cheese, red chilli flakes on top if desired.
