After a long day at work, allergy shots, and errands I got home at 8pm. Starving. I went to Crossfit last night and didn't have near enough to eat after, or today. Since Thanksgiving was last week we are officially sick of turkey. Nothing was thawed and the fridge looked hopeless. I opened the freezer and there sat a package of pasta from our last trip to Costco. My eyes glanced across the room to my waiting Instant Pot, empty and needing some attention.
Now, like I said before, I like predictable. I had never seen a recipe for frozen processed pasta-crap we rarely eat. But, I figured I had nothing to lose! We aren't big pasta fans but we were willing to take a risk. Also, we were getting hangry.
I dumped half the pkg in along with a jar of Traditional style Ragu. We aren't down with any chunks so it's plain Jane all the way. I added 1/2 cup of water and set the pot to steam for 6 minutes. I made sure the vent thingy was closed...I almost forgot! I changed a load of laundry, asked the girls to fold some blankets, came upstairs and it was done. The girls were shocked! I was shocked! It took about 10 minutes total.
Damn I love science.
