    Your video is spot on! I cooked a 1 pound box of ziti noodles with ground beef and two 24 oz jars of Ragu homestyle thick spaghetti sauce and two jars of water for 15 minutes. It was perfect. Thanks for your video. Very helpful.

    Great recipe Mate, as you are a truckie you could put the left overs in a microwavable container in the freezer so when you've done a long haul you can just zap it and dinners done. Encase you haven't gathered I'm a truckies wife I Australia. Nice to meet you Mate, keep the recipes coming they are great.

    My rule of thumb is oz for oz of pasta to water, plus full jar of sauce to 16 oz of said pasta. I also add enough water to rinse out jar. I don't even precook meat anymore but I set my timer for 20 minutes. Add peppers, onions, and mushrooms to mine, with herbs, and comes out awesome and not runny.

      Brenda Garcia Your welcome! I sometimes like to add some mozzarella cheese but I wait till it's done, and let the pressure off then add my cheese and put the cover back on and let it sit unplugged for a few minutes till melted. If you put the cheese in at the beginning it seems to disappear.

    @tomwiles  Před 7 lety +1

    +Donna Anderson If no steam came out there are a couple of things to check. Besides making sure the relief valve is closed, check to make sure your silicone gasket is installed and seating properly. I've had a couple of times where very little pressure built up and it was due to the silicone seal accidentally being installed backwards by me.

    • @tomwiles
      @tomwiles  Před 8 lety

      +Jennifer Gerard Glad it worked out. It seems like about 10 minutes is the perfect length of time for the pasta to cook properly even if the amount of meat is varied significantly.

  • @BrendaGarcia-vi8og
    @BrendaGarcia-vi8og Před 9 lety

    I used Great value sauce (never tried it before), no meat, some garlic salt and pepper. Followed the tip for ounce to ounce water and pasta. Poured sauce on top of pasta and cooked 10 min. It was wonderful! It reminded of my little sicilian mama's sauce that we cook for 8 hours. Omg! I can't say how good it was. I'm very picky with sauce so I went cheap. Unbelievable!

    • @tomwiles
      @tomwiles  Před 9 lety

      Yes the results can be quite amazing. The main thing with pasta is getting the pressure cooking time right. After cooking time spices are the next major item.

  • @pamelakelly5869
    @pamelakelly5869 Před 8 lety

    • @tomwiles
      @tomwiles  Před 8 lety +1

      Thanks! I think you will enjoy the results. What I'm doing now differently is pre-cooking the hamburger in the microwave and then draining off every last little bit of grease before adding the hamburger into the pot, further improving the end result.

    • @mikethetuner
      @mikethetuner Před 8 lety

      +tomwiles Yes: micro-cooking the burger works extremely well and I find that it comes out much "cleaner" than fried burger as far as leftover fat is concerned.

  • @DesertRidgeline
    @DesertRidgeline Před 6 lety

    I use less water. Just made this 2 nights ago. About half a box of penne pasta a quarter of a small bag of regular spaghetti, 5 links of cut up sausage (cooked in my instant pot using either EVOO or vegetable oil until cooked, don't drain any of the sausage grease, it adds a lot of flavor) one jar of Classico spaghetti sauce and one quarter of the sauce jar with water and top it off with about 1/2 cup of nice red drinking wine.
    It makes it so that the sauce isn't as liquid as your recipe (which is fine if that's the way that you like it) as it is in your recipe and more of the sauce gets into the pasta itself infusing the flavor into the pasta but still enough sauce that is liquid to feel like you have sauce on the pasta.
    The first time I tried to do one pot pasta was in my other (now gone) power pressure cooker XL and the recipe called for far too much pasta and not anywhere close to the amount of liquid required and it scorched to the bottom of my inner pot. Had to soak that thing for weeks to finally get a lot of the burnt food out of it, until I killed that ppcxl there remained burnt food in the honeycomb design of the inner pot (bad design choice in my opinion).

    Hey Tom i have a quick question for you, have you tried using this on the truck with you? Im just wondering if it would pull too much juice from a 1500 watt inverter.

    • @tomwiles
      @tomwiles  Před 8 lety

      No I can't use this in my truck because I don't have that large of an inverter. It does have heavy power requirements but am not sure if a 1500 watt inverter would be big enough. Hard to say.

  • @FernFlat
    @FernFlat Před 9 lety

    I like this simple recipe. THANKS! For a change just fry fresh onions with the minced meat. Once the liquid has dried away, deglaze the pan with a little red wine. Once cooked off, dump in the sauce, herbs, spices and then add the layer of pasta on top. Pour over enough water to completely cover the pasta but do not stir at this stage. If you don't want as liquid a meal, then use more noodles but its important to cover the pasta with the water, as the liquid will be absorbed. (I use extra pasta for lunch boxes to give a drier result as there's less chance for spillage.) Enjoy!

    i like ragu sauce. i like to make whole pound box of shells. i bought the big jar of sauce but i seen recipes on epressure cooking that say too much liquid will make spaghetti saggy. i dont know why since cook time is for the spaghetti. HOW LONG WILL PRESSURE COOK TIME BE FOR 1LB SHELLS IN RAGU? i seen a pork shoulder cooktime as 35 to 40 minutes in 1 1/2 cups water done separate from the spaghetti. IS THAT OK? THANK U im new at it and didnt fire up the farberware 7 in 1 pressure cooker yet but i have the ingredients.

    • @tomwiles
      @tomwiles  Před 8 lety +1

      My experience with cooking pasta in my pressure cooker indicates to me that cooking time controls how "done" the pasta gets. In my particular pressure cooker 10 minutes pressure time seems about ideal regardless of the amount of pasta. Experiment with it with your particular pressure cooker and adjust the pressure time up or down to achieve the best results. I would start with 10 minutes with enough liquid to barely cover the cold uncooked pasta after you have given the mixture a short stir to make sure everything is flattened out.

    • @puddygirly
      @puddygirly Před 8 lety

      thanks i will do that.

  • @joywawewefa8355
    @joywawewefa8355 Před 8 lety

    you need to add fresh chopped garlic and onions and peppers while you are sauteing the turkey. Then you need to add about a 1/2 a cup of red wine. I would always use a bit of cayenne pepper too, to anything that has tomato sauce as it brightens the sauce and makes it pop. (not a lot, just enough to enliven it).

    • @tomwiles
      @tomwiles  Před 8 lety

      Thanks for the suggestions, they will make a good addition. I have made a couple of minor tweaks to the recipe that improve it even further so I need to make an update to this update!

    Hello, I'm worried about my electric bill with one of these. It's 1000 watts and wondered how do you feel running that for 30-45 minutes? Might it be very costly? Also does it run at 1000 watts in slow cooker mode for like 8 hours?

    • @robertherriges7282
      @robertherriges7282 Před 8 lety +4

      +xbeanx3000 1000 W is 1 kW. Typical electricity costs are $0.12/kwh. Run the cooker for an hour and you're out 12 cents.

    I LUV pork shoulder with pasta in ragu sauce. how can this be done? just bought farberware 7 in 1 and know zilch. no cookbook with it.

    • @tomwiles
      @tomwiles  Před 8 lety

      I would cook the pork first since pork takes a lot longer to cook than beef, and then follow the recipe in my video. When I cook pork in my pressure cooker I cook it as much as 45 minutes under pressure. You could also cook the pork conventionally first and then follow my recipe for the pasta with the pressure cooker.

    Hi, if I double the ingredients do I need to add more time?

    • @tomwiles
      @tomwiles  Před 9 lety

      Double would probably be too much. I would add a few minutes and check it. If you determine you need more minutes simply restart it with the extra minutes.

  • @alrui
    @alrui Před 9 lety

    Hi Tom - Say why not double your recipe and then freeze up the leftovers, heck you could even bring a frozen portion then cook it in your truck oven (sorry I forgot the name of the device you bought) a day or so out when it thaws:-)

    • @tomwiles

      It makes the popping sound every time the heat comes on so I've determined it must be normal behavior for this model of pressure cooker.

  • @cwmom98
    @cwmom98 Před 7 lety +2

    It's good that you chose turkey meat, but you're loading your dish up with salt. If I may recommend, garlic powder and onion powder instead of the salted versions. That jar of sauce has plenty of salt in it...check the sodium level on the jar. Otherwise I look forward to trying this dish in my cooker. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

  • @TravisBiggie
    @TravisBiggie Před 9 lety +5

    adding it all up, one portion of this is A LOT of salt. you should being using garlic powder, and no onion salt.
    the whole can of pasta sauce is 120% salt. The turkey has 6%, and I would guess you added at least 1/2 tbsp of salt, which is 25% daily intake value per 1/4 tbsp. So were at 156% divided by 2 servings, is 78% of daily intake of salt in one serving. this is why we have high blood pressure.
    tips - there is a brand of pasta sauce that has no added sauce. you could eat the whole can with no prob! Use salt sparingly, but season heavily! no too much garlic though! i use heavy fresh cracked black pepper, and light pink salt.

    • @changwatsb
      @changwatsb Před 9 lety +2

      Except in rare cases, salt has no negative effect. The fear of salt dates back to the mid-70's when it was incorrectly thought to cause hypertension. This was debunked a couple of years ago. There is possibly more evidence to suggest that pink salt is a greater danger.

    • @Faramir992010
      @Faramir992010 Před 7 lety

      Actually, being one of those "rare" cases where too much salt has a negative effect, I understand McBiggie1's concern. I'd substitute fresh onion finely diced and cooked with the meat and fresh garlic chopped in with the onion, a low sodium pasta sauce with a couple of table spoons of tomato paste, maybe even add a diced green pepper and some red pepper flakes for a little heat. Other than that the recipe looks great!

    I would only suggest draining the meat after browning. Too much grease, even for turkey meat.

    • @tomwiles
      @tomwiles  Před 8 lety

      Most recently I decided to cook the ground meat in the microwave where I could easily get rid of the grease with the aid of a couple of paper towels in a bowel. This worked even better. I am not a fan of grease.

    10 MINUTES IS TOO LONG FOR ANY KIND OF PASTA---6 POSSIBLY 7 MIN TOPS UNLESS YOU LIKE IT OVERCOOKED

    • @tomwiles
      @tomwiles  Před 8 lety

      That probably is dependent on the individual models of pressure cooker. The model I have is ideal at 10 minutes regardless of the amount of pasta. Your mileage may vary. This recipe is not set in stone. Experiment!

    • @rickburton1780
      @rickburton1780 Před 8 lety

    • @tomwiles
      @tomwiles  Před 8 lety

      +Rick Burton I have experimented with different types of meat as well. For pork I've determined that 45 minutes produces the best results, particularly if the pot is close to being full. I'm not sure how that would translate to other types of pressure cookers. With meats if the stuff isn't done it is easy to put the lid back on while it's hot and add more time. Electrical appliances seem to have a maximum legally allowed wattage draw limit. This pressure cooker is an inexpensive brand and though it works well, other brands may offer even faster cooking times.
