The instant pot makes cooking so easy. You can make all of your favorite recipes with barely any clean up. This winter, use your instant pot to make these delicious Italian classics for the best warm and filling meals.

Lasagna

This lasagna cooked in the instant pot will be on your table in just 30 minutes. Layer the pasta with some tomato sauce, ground meat, and fresh spinach in a spring form pan and put it in the instant pot. Top it with cheese and you have an easy, tasty lasagna.

Chicken Cacciatore

This chicken dish is packed with flavor and is generally slow-cooked—in the instant pot, it’s ready in half the time and tastes just as good. You can serve it over pasta, zoodles, or rice and enjoy it for a few days as it is easy to refrigerate.

Bolognese

No need to stand over a hot sauce waiting for your Bolognese to be ready. The instant pot will make it in minutes. Tomato and ground beef, some herbs and spices, and a drop of wine make this recipe easy and delicious.

Polenta

Polenta is traditionally made by adding cornmeal to boiling salted water and stirring the pot for a very long time. With the instant pot, it will do the work for you, and you will get the same creamy texture. Pair the polenta with some Italian sausage or pork ribs.
