Instant Pot Creamy Tortellini

Creamy Tortellini is so easy to make it is child's play. I mean our 13-year-old cooks it even when we are not home. She loves to cook and using the Instant Pot we have taught her how to cook healthier meals. Since the Instant Pot has so many built-in safety features we are confident letting her use it without a ton of supervision.

What Ingredients are in Tortellini?

We use tomato sauce from a can most of the time but if you have a few minutes to spare you can try to make your own. I use fresh tomatoes, garlic cloves or garlic powder and onion powder or sauteed onions and let it cook down in the Instant Pot. Easy, but I must admit it is quicker to use a can of tomato paste 🙂
