A 20 minute weeknight meal! No fuss, easy instant pot gluten free pasta shakshuka is one of my favorite recipe mashups!
The popular middle eastern shakshuka and Italian pasta in marinara sauce comes together into one easy peasy recipe mashup!
Spicy, saucy pasta with eggs poached on top….Sooo GOOD!
A piece of crusty bread to mop up all that extra sauce. Make it gluten free bread instead.
I’m on a role with Instant Pot!
Especially cooking pasta in an instant pot —> no dealing with hot, boiling water. One pan …no pot.

Key notes on making this Instant pot pasta:
The timing and liquid measurement works only for gluten free pasta, since it is less starchy than regular pasta. However, check out this similar reader favorite Instant pot pasta recipe —> Instant Pot Chicken Parmesan Pasta
Salt depends on the type of marinara sauce that you are using and your taste. I used about 1 teaspoon salt and found it perfect for my taste.
Set second cooking time for 1 minute for very soft eggs and 2 minutes for firmer eggs( on manual).
This recipe makes a saucy pasta just like a shakshuka. But, if you prefer to have little less sauce, then increase pasta to 5 ounces.
Release pressure as soon as it beeps. If the pasta is let to hang out in warm, then it might get over cooked.
Let pasta rest uncovered for 5 -10 minutes before serving. This helps the sauce to thicken a bit and eggs top set well.
