Ingredients

1 pound bulk Italian sausage
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup tomato paste
12 ounces uncooked rigatoni or large tube pasta

Select saute or browning setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker; adjust for medium heat. Cook sausage until no longer pink, 4-6 minutes, breaking into crumbles. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
