Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta:

    • Place the linguine noodles in the Instant Pot.
    • Add ½ cup of water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then stir.
    • Secure the lid, set the pressure valve to “SEALING,” and press “MANUAL.” Set the time to 6 minutes.
    • Allow the Instant Pot to build and release pressure naturally.
  • Roast the Red Bell Pepper:

    • Preheat the broiler.
    • Wash and slice the red bell pepper into thirds.
    • Place the pieces skin-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
    • Brush with olive oil and broil for 8-10 minutes until charred and bubbling.
    • Remove from oven, let cool, then slice or chop.
  • Prepare the Sauce:

    • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine tomato sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, shallot, garlic salt, seasoned salt, seasoned pepper, Italian seasoning, oregano, basil, minced garlic, and brown sugar.
    • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes.
    • Stir in the half and half, simmer for another 5 minutes, then cover and remove from heat.
  • Combine Everything:

    • Once the pasta is done, release any remaining pressure in the Instant Pot.
    • Drain excess water and return the pasta to the Instant Pot.
    • Pour the tomato sauce over the pasta and toss to coat.
    • Add the chopped roasted red pepper and Parmesan cheese, mixing well.
  • Serve:

    • Plate the pasta in bowls and enjoy!
