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 pressure cooker or Instant Pot® and hope to feed more people. The cooking time should stay the same.
