Instant Pot Seafood Pasta Recipe From Val’s Kitchen

Instructions

Plug in the electric pressure cooker.

Select the saute setting.

Add the scallops to the pot and cook them for 2 minutes, turning the scallops every 1 minute to be sure they cook evenly.

Remove the scallops from the pot and set aside.

Add the diced onions to the pressure cooker and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are translucent.

Place the water, all tomatoes and their juices, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic , oregano, salt, and basil

leaves into a mixing bowl and stir together.

Ladle just enough of the tomato mixture into the pot to cover the bottom of the pot.

Break the linguine noodles in half.

Add the uncooked linguine noodles to the pot, working in batches.

Pour the remaining sauce over the linguine.

Place the lid onto the pressure cooker and close to seal.

Set the pressure cooker to cook on high pressure for 6 minutes.

Once the cooking time has finished, do a quick pressure release.

Once you’ve released the pressure, remove the lid and stir the contents of the pot.

Add the shrimp and mussels to the pasta.

Put the lid back on and close to seal once again.

Set the pressure cooker to cook on high pressure for 1 minute.

Once the cooking time has finished, do a quick pressure release.

Add the scallops to the mixture.

Remove the pot from the pressure cooker and set it aside for 3 to 5 minutes to cool and let the sauce thicken slightly. The sauce will thicken even more as it cools.

Serve and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cook everything at once instead of adding the seafood in later?

Not in this recipe. While I love making everything all at once, certain recipes need an extra step or two. In the case of this recipe, you have to add the seafood in later because of how quickly it cooks. Were you to cook it all at once, your seafood would be a mushy mess.

What should I serve with this dish?

This dish pairs nicely with salad and garlic bread.
