Instant Pot Sausage Spinach Pasta

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

My husband has been asking me for sausage pasta lately, so we compromised and I got to add spinach to it! lol. This Instant Pot Sausage Spinach Pasta was so good and worth every point. It has a rich, gravy-like sauce to it while still keeping that creamy flavor. It has A LOT of meat too, guaranteed to keep you full. Total comfort food. That's the beauty of WW, I can eat this 13 point dish and feel no guilt, because I had 10 points leftover for any other food I need!

How many WW points is this now?! Click on the link below and it will take you to the recipe I made within your own WW app. Your specific points will be calculated, and you can track that.


Here is what you will need to make this recipe:

A pressure cooker

I absolutely love my Instant, you can order that here. I also recommend getting a non-stick insert. It makes clean up much easier and the food does not stick to the bowl. With the Instant, you need to work very quickly so having the insert is great. You can order that here.

Next will be all your ingredients

  • A white onion
  • Garlic cloves
  • Olive oil
  • Ground Italian sausage, mild
  • Seasonings
  • Broth, I used chicken
  • Pasta
  • Reduced-fat parmesan
  • ⅓ less fat cream cheese

The first thing you will need to do is dice up the onion. I love my new knife set, it is amazing how much a good knife really changes the game. You can order that knife set here.

This is the sausage that we used. I know most people don't have Publix (which is really sad) so just substitute it for something else, but be mindful of the point values.

Next you'll need to separate your pasta. I pour out 6 ounces of pasta in a bowl and bag up the rest for another night.

Next, we will begin adding everything to the Instant Pot. Be sure to spray the pot or use this insert. I love this insert because nothing sticks, making it such an easy clean-up.

Make sure you have the seasonings and everything else ready to go as working in an Instant goes really quick! There will be no time to spare.

Start with the garlic and onions. Turn the Instant Pot to the saute setting and cook the garlic and onion for 1-2 minutes, until they look like this.

Then add the ground sausage and begin breaking it up while adding the seasonings. Continue breaking up while cooking, until it is about halfway cooked, about 3-5 minutes.

Add the pasta on top of the sausage then the broth around the pasta. And start the Instant Pot.

Once that is finished cooking, add the spinach and cheese and just mix until the spinach is wilted and the cheeses are melted.

How easy is this!!

    If I am doubling the recipe do I need to add more cook time? Also if I use bow tie pasta instead of penne does that make a difference? Thanks.

      I wouldn’t double the cook time, maybe add an extra minute or two or just cook longer at the sauté step. The bow tie shouldn’t make a difference.
