1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried basil
½ tsp red pepper flakes
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth.
12 oz ziti pasta, dry and uncooked

For the topping

1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 large egg
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ tsp salt
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

For serving

2 tbsp fresh basil, torn (optional)

Instructions

1
Set the Instant Pot to Sauté (high). Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no pink remains, about 6–8 minutes. Drain off any excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pot.
2
Add the onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
