Main Course
Creamy, comforting and full of Mediterranean-inspired flavour, this Roasted Pepper & Feta Rigatoni is an easy pasta dish that comes together in minutes. Salty feta, sweet roasted red peppers, oregano, smoked paprika and a touch of chilli create a rich, creamy sauce with very little effort.
Everything cooks together in the Instant Pot, so there’s no need for a separate saucepan or sauce. Once pressure cooked, simply stir the feta through the pasta until smooth and creamy, then finish with lemon juice, fresh parsley and a drizzle of chilli oil for an easy midweek meal packed with flavour.
