Pizza Pasta One Pot
Pizza Pasta One Pot
Author: The Blue Jean Chef, Meredith Laurence
Serves: 2
This is a great mid-week dinner for two. It takes just 7 minutes and you don't even have to cook the pasta separately. This recipe is written for a 2-quart pressure cooker, so be sure to increase it if you have a larger cooker and hope to feed more people. The time should stay the same.
