This pasta dish has all the traditional ingredients – Tomatoes, basil, Mozzarella, Olive oil and Balsamic. And the very best part of this dish – Its all made in one pot, Instant pot.

Important Tips –

I use Penne pasta for this one-pot meal but you can use any type of pasta you’d like. You can add vegetable broth instead of water. Although fresh mozzarella is a must in a Caprese pasta, you could substitute shredded mozzarella or any cheese. I didn’t have the grape tomatoes, so I used Roma tomatoes. Use grape tomatoes for better taste. I haven’t added any onion or garlic in this recipe because I used pasta sauce which already had the garlic and onions in it. If you don’t have fresh basil, you can use dried ones too. Use ¼ tsp.
