I Don’t Have Rotini. Can I Use Another Pasta? 

While our recipe calls for using rotini pasta (it tastes and looks awesome too), there’s no hard and fast rule when it comes to picking the pasta for this recipe.

In fact, you can use literally any kind of pasta you have at home. Penne, macaroni, spiral and shell pasta are some good choices. 

Just like our Jalepeno Popper Chicken Pasta recipe, you can really use whatever pasta you have on hand. I might just pair this up with a Ninja Foodi grill steak.

How Can I Prevent My Philly Cheesesteak Pasta From Sticking to Each Other?

A major concern most home cooks face, especially while cooking pasta in their instant pot, is that the pasta ends up getting all sticky and clumpy.

When you’re cooking pasta, make sure you don’t end up overcooking it- let it cook for the exact time as the recipe calls for, and then allow it to depressurize by itself for 5 minutes. 

Once you remove the pasta and drain it, wash it with some cold water to prevent the residual warmth from cooking the pasta. Tossing this pasta in some oil can also help.

Another cool trick to implement is to add some oil into the water itself while you’re boiling the pasta. 

Favorite Instant Pot Kitchen Supplies

• Instant Pot Inner Pot - I like to have an extra inner pot available because of how much cooking I do in my Instant Pot. It comes in really handy when I want to put a lid on the inner pot and refrigerate the leftovers, or mix up ingredients the night before to save time at the end of the day.
• Silicone Lid for Instant Pot- I'm not sure how I lived without this one. Having a silicone lid for my Instant Pot has made life so much easier. It is perfect for adding ingredients a day or two ahead of time.

Sides & Accompaniment Ideas

While this Philly Cheesesteak Pasta can easily become a complete meal in itself, you can always team it up with some great sides and accompaniments to make the spread bigger- perfect if you’ve got some guests over.

Here are some great ideas to get you started. 

• A nice, healthy salad with a light dressing (a basic vinaigrette). Throw in loads of crunchy veggies and nuts for a textural difference as opposed to the soft, comforting flavors and bites of the pasta. 
• Oven roasted or grilled veggies can also work nicely with this creamy and cheesy pasta. Plus, it’ll be healthy too. 
• If you have some fresh green beans, you can also saute them in a bit of butter and garlic, and season them with a bit of salt and pepper, and that can work wonderfully as a side too. 
• If you’re looking for something even more healthy, steamed broccoli can be a great accompaniment.

Philly Cheesesteak Pasta

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 sweet onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 green bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 6 cups water or beef broth
• 1 (16 ounces) box Rotini pasta
• 2 cups shredded provolone cheese, divided
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Using the saute mode, heat the electric pressure cooker until “hot.”
2. Add the ground beef, onions, and bell peppers, cooking until the beef is browned and crumbled. Drain well. 
3. Deglaze the bottom of the pot by adding the water or beef broth and scraping with a flat wooden spoon.
4. Cancel the saute mode.
5. To the pressure cooker add the garlic and Worcestershire sauce as well as any salt and black pepper.
6. Place the pasta on top, pressing into the liquid. Do not stir.
7. Place the lid on the electric pressure cooker and set the valve to sealing.
8. Set the pressure cooker to “manual” or “pressure cook” for 6 minutes.
9. Quick release the pressure when the cook cycle is complete.
10. Stir 1 ½ cups cheese into the pasta. Top with remaining cheese. Place the lid over the pressure cooker just until the cheese melts.

Notes

This pasta comes very complete and satisfies quickly because it has the meat and the cheese, but you can accompany it with a salad to balance the garnishes. It can also be served with green beans or broccoli for a serving of healthy, easy-to-make vegetables.
