Dee-licious is the word that describes this Instant Pot Vegan Ariabiatta Pasta. If you are bored of the same old pasta recipe, try this one. Definitely, one of my favorite recipes for Pasta, because it's spicy. We made this over the weekend. Dr. Mystery returned back home from his trip to Europe. Thus the spicy Arrabiatta Pasta. He couldn't stop talking about the best pasta he has ever had so far, Arrabiatta. He loves anything spicy, so there was no doubt that he was going to fall in love with the flavors. Spicy, tangy and full or aroma, one can't go wrong Arrabiatta Pasta.
Also, we had The Belly Rules The Mind meet. Time and again the TBRTM family catches up to discuss next steps, re-assess our goals, define strategies for the next few months, brainstorm ideas, discuss recipes make some. A crazy busy weekend of TBRTM family meet up. Mind you it's not just the two of us (Soniya and myself) behind this blog. Without the support, if our husbands and children, this blog wouldn't be possible. You can meet TBRTM family here. We also have an extended family which consists of our friends and family, our elders with whom we celebrate our wins, big or small. We look upto them for feedback and support too.
So one of the things we are going to focus on the next few months is videos. You will see a lot more videos being published on the blog as well as TBRTM Facebook page. So this weekend we tried to make a few recipes and record some videos ourselves. Trying to step out of our comfort zone. So here is our video for this Instant Pot Vegan Arrabiata Pasta recipe.
Instant Pot is such a craze right now. everyone is trying to make recipes in the Instant Pot. The recipes are endless. Such a powerful tool to have in the kitchen. Especially for people like us who like to spend less time in the kitchen and more with family or doing other things.
Why do I like the Instant Pot?
It's a single tool with multiple cooking features in it. It's like the Indian pressure cooker, but can also act as a rice cooker, slow cooker, or electric pressure cooker. It acts like a steamer, sauté/browning pan, and warming pot. One can also make yogurt in it. It's that all one tool that every kitchen must have.
Since we didn't have any Instant Pot recipes on the blog, we decided to make a few Instant Pot recipes. So stay tuned for some really exciting Instant Pot recipes. For now, let's get back to the Vegan Arrabiatta Pasta. It's quick and easy to make and loaded with the flavors of tomatoes, fresh herbs and lots of chillies. if you don't like the chillies, you can totally skip the chillies, but I like that zing.
If you you know of someone who would like this hot delicious pasta recipe, share it with them.

Do you use dried basil or fresh?
Anvita says
Hi Tamara, we love using fresh basil during summer.. in winters we use dried.
Ana says
Diced tomatoes. Fresh or canned?
Soniya Saluja says
Hi Ana, fresh tomatoes are recommended, but you can use canned too
Mickt Hohl says
Buonissimo!! I admit, I approached this recipe with a lot of doubt. I'm a new instant pot user, but i thought no way, pasta in a pressure cooker, penne Arrabiata no less, can't be good. Plus I'm in Italy every summer, I know my penne Arrabiata. How wrong I was! This recipe, besides making my own yoghurt, is so far the highlight of my instant pot cooking experience! I made it twice so far, and both times the satisfaction of eating perfectly flavored and cooked penne Arrabiata in no time at all is almost as fulfilling as that first bite at my favorite Trattoria every summer. (And I only say almost because my kitchen in Ktown Los Angeles can't compete with roadside Trattoria, location location!) Mille grazie for a wonderful delicious recipe!

Anvita says
Hi Cheryl

You can use any other Italian herb mix and add some chill flakes
Brodie says
You can use water instead of oil to saute your vegetables for a healthier option.
Akriti Sharma says
Hi Anvita, thanks for the recipe! I tried the pasta for my kids' lunchboxes today. Came out really well, except it tasted a bit sweet. Next time, I'll add little or no sauce instead of a cupful. Otherwise, it was amazing! I also added a few veggies (carrots, zucchini) Thanks again!
Soniya Saluja says
Akriti,
Thanks for sharing your review. Glad you liked the pasta overall. I guess the sweetness was from the carrots. You propbably managed to add some good quality carrots.
Christopher James Mitchell says
Oh wonderful! I'll have to make sure I give this a try, especially as I'm introducing more vegan food in my diet!
ana (@Faded_Spring) says
And this is why I keep telling myself that I need to invest in an Instant pot as not only does it mean that I can have delicious meals waiting for me even when I am in a rush but also I can make vegan meals like this pasta pot. I am a vegetarian but I do eat a lot of vegan food.

I've honestly never cooked pasta using the instant pot before but I sure wouldn't mind giving it a try especially with a recipe as delicious as this! It looks amazing!
London Mumma says
What a great dish to have with the family, friends too for a great mid week dinner.
Dalene Ekirapa says
Delicious is the word definitely! I love spicy dishes and this pasta looks very scrumptious...Anyway, that Instant pot looks very awesome and would be very useful in the kitchen now that it has too much features in one.
iyalouisa says
This is such a simple dish and it looks like amazing comfort food! I had a vegan pasta dish last night at TGI’s and was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the recipe
Laurence says
I really love arrabiatta pasta, Because of a mild spicy thing. And since it vegan, the ingredients are easy to find, and your recipe is so easy to make, I will try this one this weekend.
