Pepperoni Pizza Pasta | 5-Ingredient Instant Pot Recipe | Jeffrey Eisner | Recipe

Jeffrey Eisner, of the blog Pressure Luck Cooking and author of the new cookbook Super Shortcut Instant Pot (Voracious, 2023), has become well-known for his quick, easy and tasty Instant Pot recipes. Here, he shares a 5-ingredient favorite. 

"The only thing better than transforming a pepperoni pizza into a pasta is doing it with just five ingredients. This pasta gives you the best parts of a slice (the cheese and pepperoni), is way better than popping a frozen pie into the oven and will be sure to satisfy the largest of appetites. For extra oomph, I love giving it a bubbly brown cheese and pepperoni-loaded broiled top for an instantly Instagrammable classic dinner." —Jeffrey

Pro Tip from Jeffrey: How cheesy this pasta is is up to you (and there are no rules here since this is a pizza-inspired pasta, after all). In step three, start with two cups of shredded cheese and, if you want more, add up to two more cups! If you want to use even more cheese as part of the topping, add it in step four.
