Category: Main Dish

Ready in 1h

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 large yellow onion diced

2 tablespoons salted butter

16 ounces Baby Bella or white mushrooms sliced (optional if you hate shrooms, but if you don’t use them, omit the butter)

3 cloves (1 tablespoon) garlic crushed or minced

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 pounds ground meat of your choice (beef chicken, turkey or Italian sausage)

1/2 cup of a dry white wine (like a Chardonnay or you can

1 tablespoon dijon mustard (like Grey Poupon optional)

3 1/2 cups beef broth (I use 3 1/2 teaspoons of Beef Better T

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 pound (1 box) medium shells or any short pasta

1 packet of dry onion dip/soup mix (like the kind yo

1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream

5.2 ounce package of Boursin Garlic & Herb (SECRET INGREDIEN use 5 oz of a brick of cream cheese)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)

1 tablespoons truffle oil (any kind optional)


Directions

Add the olive oil to the Instant Pot and hit “Sauté” and adjust so it’s on the “More” or “High” setting. After about 3 minutes (and once the butter’s melted and oil’s bubbling), add the onion to the pot with the already heated oil and sauté for 2 minutes and then add the butter and mushrooms and sauté for 3 minutes more. Then, add in the garlic and sauté for 1 more minute followed by the Worcestershire sauce. Deglaze the bottom of the pot so it’s free of any dark brown spots. Then, add the meat and break up until it crumbles and browns for 3 minutes. Next, add in the white wine followed by the dijon mustard and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir well and deglaze (scrape) the bottom of the pot so nothing’s stuck to it. Add in the beef broth, seasoned salt and thyme and stir well. Pour in the pasta but DO NOT STIR. Just smooth it out so it’s mostly submerged in the broth (it’s okay if some peaks above). Secure the lid, move the valve to the sealing position, hit the “Keep Warm/Cancel” button followed by the “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” button High Pressure for 6 minutes. Perform a quick release when done. When the lid comes off, stir in the onion mix packet, sour cream, Boursin (or cream cheese), Parmesan (if using) and truffle oil (if using). Stir well until all is totally melded into the sauce (NOTE: see the yellow “Jeffrey Sez” section). Serve in bowls and enjoy!
