Recipe: Instant Pot Ground Beef Ziti
Ingredients:
* 1 lb ground beef
* 1 onion, finely chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 cup ziti pasta
* 2 cups beef broth
* 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
* 1 tsp dried oregano
* 1 tsp dried basil
* 1 tsp salt
* 1/2 tsp black pepper
* 1 cup ricotta cheese
* 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
1. Press the "Saute" button on the Instant Pot and heat the pot until it reads "HOT".
2. Add the chopped onion and cook until it's translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
4. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it's browned, about 5-6 minutes.
5. Add the ziti pasta, beef broth, crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
6. Close the lid of the Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to "SEALING". Press the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" button and set the cooking time to 6 minutes at high pressure.
7. When the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
8. Open the lid and stir in the ricotta cheese until it's well combined with the pasta and sauce.
9. Transfer the pasta to a serving dish and top with shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
10. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

Variations:
* Add some heat: Mix in some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to give the dish an extra kick.
* Go green: Add some steamed broccoli or spinach to the pasta for an extra serving of veggies.
* Get fancy: Top with some caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, or crispy breadcrumbs for added texture and flavor.
* Make it a casserole: Transfer the pasta to a baking dish, top with additional mozzarella cheese and breadcrumbs, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
