Pasta Dish
-
Gather all your ingredients: butter, olive oil, onion, garlic, sausage, pumpkin puree, chicken broth, coconut milk, salt, spinach, parmesan cheese, and pasta.

Get out your instant-pot and put on the saute mode. Add butter & olive oil to melt. Then add the chopped onions and saute until translucent. Next, add in the garlic and cook for a minute.

Prepare the sausage by taking it out of its casing and chopping it into 1/2" disks.
-
Add the sausage to the IP and cook until it is browning.
-
Add the pumpkin, chicken broth and salt to the meat and onion mixture and mix it all up.
