It is so good It tastes better than regular pasta. It holds its shape.

You're also going to need some chicken broth fat free half-and-half light butter salt onion and garlic powder Parmesan cheese I'm gonna be doing a mix of fat free cheddar cheese and the Trader Joe's light three cheese blend My meatballs actually came from Trader Joe's. These are the turkey meatballs. They are fully cooked Now you can use any meatball that you would like just make sure you adjust your point So these particular meatballs you can have two of them for three smart points. I believe Let's look on the back here Yes, two meatballs is three smart points lastly We're just gonna pair that with some California style veggies. So let's get started on tonight's instant pot dinner So go ahead and grab out your instant pot hit your saute button that basically turns that on gets it into saute mode We are going to add Four cups of our chicken broth or basically this entire box. It says three to four cups I always air on the higher number just because I want to make sure everything gets cooked thoroughly through So I'm gonna go ahead and add in the entire box I'm also going to add in my bag of Trader Joe's frozen turkey meatballs Careful not to splash those all around and then to that we're gonna add four tablespoons of I can't believe it's not butter light And I went ahead and just measured that out on my food scale And then all of our seasonings so first onion powder and you guys know I don't measure I just kind of wing it I tend to also over season things just because I like my food with a lot of flavor I did not show you time, but we also do want to add a little bit of time in as well I don't know how I missed that on the ingredients list So sorry about that and then also some garlic powder Same thing. I'm just going to kind of wing it and then last but certainly not least We're just gonna add in a few shakes of our salt And then we're gonna keep this on the saute function Until our liquid has started to steam and that means that it's gotten nice and hot our butter will melt Our meatballs will start to get warm and then we'll move on to adding in our pasta You can see the steam rising off of that liquid. That is exactly what you want now We're ready to add in our bag of pasta And we're just gonna kind of just give it a quick toss just to make sure the pasta gets Submerged in the liquid and then we're actually going to put on our lid We're gonna cook this on high pressure for six minutes, and then we're gonna do a quick release So I just hit the manual release here on my instant pot We're gonna let all of the pressure get out open up the lid add in our cheeses and our fat free half and half So I just removed the lid. This looks really good. Looks like the pasta is done So now we're gonna turn this back onto the saute mode for about five minutes And we're just gonna let it saute cook a little bit more absorb a little bit more of the liquid and then we'll add in our cheese So I have it on saute. I'm gonna go ahead and add in my fat free half and half I'm also going to add in one ounce of Parmesan cheese I did just weighties out on my food scale And then I have 12 ounces of cheese total six ounces of the Trader Joe's light shredded and Six ounces of the fat free cheese, and we're just going to mix this together Again keeping it on saute mode for about five minutes That way the cheese gets mixed in with all of the liquid until we have mac and cheese that cheese will melt and Form a sauce and then that's it you guys it is that simple So I'll be back to show you our mac and cheese once we pull it off of the saute function and there is our mac and cheese It looks amazing. So we turned it off of saute So it is off completely We are going to put our lid on kind of sideways and just let it sit for about five minutes and continue to thicken up My veggies are in the microwave. I'll be back to show you my dinner and give you the smart points So here is my dinner for tonight. I have some of my California vegetables I went ahead and just sprayed them with a little I can't believe it's not butter spray Some salt and pepper for zero and then I have one eighth of the mac and cheese And I paired that with two meatballs So one eighth of the mac and cheese is five smart points And then it is three smart points for my two meatballs now This is where your points could vary depending on the meatball that you use But I'm counting mine as three for the meatballs five for the mac and cheese So this entire dinner eight smart points for tonight's instant pot dinner I am making veggie fried rice and I'm going to pair that with some chicken cilantro wantons So first let me show you what is in our veggie fried rice. You will need eggs an onion Soy sauce or coconut aminos, whatever you prefer Any kind of rice I really like jasmine. It's our favorite. So we're gonna be doing jasmine rice Frozen peas you can either do shredded carrots or whole carrots and just dice them up I have these left over from another recipe So I wanted to use them up and that's everything in the fried rice and then we're gonna be pairing that with these bb go These are from Costco. You could also use the Trader Joe's mini chicken cilantro wantons. They're the same So we're gonna be doing this I'm just gonna put these in the steamer basket or actually know what no I think I'm gonna go ahead and pan-fry these while the instant pot is cooking the rice So pan-fried wantons and we're gonna do veggie fried rice in the instant pot So the first thing we need to do is cook our rice Unfortunately, our rice has to be pre-cooked before it goes into the instant pot So I have one cup of uncooked rice with about one and three-quarters cup of water We're gonna let this start cooking through and in the meantime, let's get started on our wantons So the rice is just about done and we have our wantons going over here in a pan So let's start together putting together the part of our dinner. That's in the instant pot So the first thing I'm gonna do is go ahead and turn my instant pot onto saute mode I'm gonna take some non-stick cooking spray and just spray pretty Intensely the bottom and sides of my instant pot Let this warm up for just a couple of minutes and we'll add in both our carrots and our onions Once your instant pot is warmed up We're gonna go ahead and add some carrots the recipe wants about half of a cup of care or half of a carrot So I'm just gonna kind of add just a little bit of this shredded carrots to the bottom of my instant pot and then we are also going to add in our diced up onion and We're just gonna start sauteing this down until the onion becomes a little translucent and the carrots start to soften a little bit Once everything gets soft, it you're gonna go ahead and push it all off to the side of your instant pot And then we're gonna add a little bit more non-stick cooking spray on that one side And add our two eggs that we've kind of pre beaten up with our fork to the side And we want to just scramble those together It'll take just a couple of minutes about three or so for the eggs to scramble And then we'll start mixing in the onions and the carrots with the egg and add in the rest of our ingredients Once your eggs are scrambled We're gonna go ahead and pour in one cup of frozen peas And go ahead and give that a stir make sure you get that egg kind of mixed in Get it off the bottom of your instant pot And then we're also going to add in all of our cooked rice. So there is our cooked rice We're gonna go ahead and add that in and then again, we're just going to give this a big stir So here is our veggie fried rice when we have that soy sauce stirred in again It smells so good And then I've crisp up our wontons quite a bit just in a non-stick pan with a little bit of cooking spray And they got nice and crispy. So let me get this plated up and I'll be back to give you the smart points So here is my completed dinner. So I have one fourth of the veggie fried rice So it is quite a lot and it is only three smart points And then I decided to have ten of the mini chicken cilantro Wontons and ten of those is also three smart points. So this entire dinner six smart points Thank you for joining me on another WW instant pot series I hope you enjoyed seeing the two recipes that I shared with you.
