Picture
Ingredients
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 Shallots Diced
2 cups Mushrooms Baby Portabella, sliced (or 1 can of sliced mushrooms)
1 lb Italian Sausage
5 Garlic Cloves Minced
4 cups Beef Broth
1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
2 cups Cherry Tomatoes (leave whole)
16 oz box Ziti Pasta
5-8 oz Baby Spinach (or 1 container of Frozen Spinach)
8 oz Cream Cheese
1.5 cups Parmesan Cheese Grated
14 oz Artichoke Hearts Drained and Coarsely Chopped
​

Instructions
  1. Set instant pot to saute setting and adjust to "more." Add olive oil, shallots, mushrooms, and stir for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the sausage and garlic and saute for another 2 minutes. Don't cook the sausage completely, it will finish cooking at the 5th step.
  3. Add the broth, Italian seasoning, and tomatoes. Stir it all together.
  4. Add the pasta to the top - DO NOT STIR it with the rest of the ingredients. Add frozen or fresh spinach to the top of the pasta - DO NOT STIR. If using fresh spinach, you may have to pack it down a bit, but don't worry, it will cook down.
  5. Place lid on the Instant Pot and pressure cook on manual for five minutes. Then do a quick release when it is finished.
  6. Stir in the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and artichoke hearts. Mix it all together, serve, and ENJOY!

Parmesan Broiled Tomatoes

I just made these, and I admit, I ate almost the whole pan full of them. They are Parmesan Broiled Tomatoes. The recipe I found said to use Roma’s, but I only had a few ripe, so I used my beefsteak tomatoes 🍅 sliced in thirds. The recipe is simple,

Tomatoes cut in half or thirds depending on their size
1/2 cup crushed saltine crackers
1/2 cup cheese (I used a combo of Parmesan and shredded queso)
1 tsp garlic salt (+/- to taste)
1/4 cup olive oil

Combine everything but the tomatoes in a bowl, mix well. Place tomato halves (cut side up) on a baking sheet. Top each tomato half with mixture, broil for 3-5 minutes. Keep an eye on them, it can burn quickly if you get distracted. ENJOY!!!
