Hi Amber, substituting sausage for the beef shouldn’t have made a difference. The pasta sauce in the recipe should be sufficient liquid to bring the pot to pressure, especially since the pasta is already cooked. I’m sorry it didn’t turn out for you, but glad you were able to salvage it. The only thing I can think of is that if you used a thick pasta sauce, perhaps adding 1/2 cup of water might have helped. I use a marinara sauce that is very liquidy so perhaps that is the difference. Thank you so much for sharing your feedback!

Sweet, thanks. I just found your page because someone posted the link on a facebook group for instantpot. I am going to subscribe and check everything out.

That was a mistake. I updated the cheat sheet about a month ago. It’s been updated on the subscriber freebies page (you can grab it there if you subscribed before it was updated) and also in the welcome email. If you recently subscribed but received the wrong version, please let me know so I can figure out why and how.
