    Ingredients & Variations

    Instant Pot Mushroom Pasta Ingredients

    Pasta - The main ingredient. You may add any variety of pasta. I am using spaghetti pasta today. The water required and the time for cooking the pasta may change in each case. Take a note of it. But the remaining procedure is the same.

    Mushroom - Gives a fresh earthy taste to the pasta. I am using button variety mushrooms. You may also use cremini or portobello mushrooms.

    Green Peas - Goes really well with mushrooms. You can use either fresh or frozen mushrooms. I am using a fresh one and hence I am cooking it along with the mushrooms. If using frozen peas you can add them directly to the Instant Pot after cooking the pasta.

    Spice powders - Going light with just salt and black pepper powder. For more flavor, you may add ½ tsp of garlic powder and for more spice factor you can add some red chili flakes.

    Onion - Use finely chopped red onions.

    Oil - Use olive oil for cooking.

    Cream - I'm going on a lighter version and hence went with fresh cream. You may also add in heavy cream or half and half.

    Basil Leaves - Adds a fresh flavor to the pasta.

    Add ons - Add in some cheese for a creamier pasta.

    How to cook Mushrooms?

    Always use dry mushrooms for cooking. Mushrooms absorb water and hence do not keep immersed in water for a longer time. You can use a damp cloth for removing the dirt particles. Or Wash the mushrooms once and wipe or pat them dry with a paper towel.

    Mushrooms cook really fast. You may just saute and cook them. Here I am cooking the mushrooms at first, I am not cooking them along with the pasta. It might result in overcooking the mushrooms.

    Also, slice the mushrooms in uniform thickness or size. This helps in cooking the mushrooms together equally.

    Stovetop Instructions

    If you do not own an Instant Pot you can easily make them on the stovetop as well. Use a heavy-bottomed deep cast iron pan or Dutch oven.

    Cook the pasta with excess water as per the package instructions. Saute the mushrooms and peas and cook till they are done and remove from the pan. Next, add the olive oil and cook the onion and garlic along with the spice powders. Next add the cooked pasta, mushrooms, and peas.

    Combine everything and cook for a few secs and add the cream. Cook for 3 mins and switch off. Tear in some fresh basil leaves and keep the skillet closed for 10 mins. Tasty pasta is ready on the stovetop too.
