Ingredients

1 pound Ground Beef
8 ounces Medium Shell Pasta
2 cloves Garlic minced
1 Onion finely chopped
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 cups Beef Broth
1/4 cup Heavy Cream
1 cup Tomato Sauce
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

Sauté the Beef. Turn the Instant Pot to the sauté function and add olive oil. Once hot, add ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent, breaking up the beef as it cooks.
Add Pasta and Broth. Stir in the shell pasta, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Ensure the pasta is submerged in the liquid. Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 4 minutes.
Prepare the Creamy Sauce. After the cooking time is up, perform a quick release. Open the lid and stir in heavy cream until the sauce is smooth. Add shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and well combined.
Season and Serve. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley or additional cheese if desired.
