Ninja Foodi Taco Pasta (Gluten-Free)

Try another great Ninja Foodi Recipe with Ninja Foodi Taco Pasta, easy to make gluten-free too!

The Ninja Foodi has become my appliance of choice for quick meals and this Taco Pasta was the perfect choice to make in the Ninja Foodi.

This is made using the pressure cooker function on the Ninja Foodi. The Ninja Foodi is a great way to make the perfect pasta.

I simply adapted my taco pasta recipe and made it in the Ninja Foodi instead, but it can also be done in the Instant Pot too.

I was a bit skeptical of how the gluten-free pasta would turn out, but it worked just as well as regular pasta.

I used Tinkyada Gluten Free Pasta to make this.

Can you make pasta in a Ninja Foodi?

The Ninja Foodi makes some delicious pasta, it can literally be added in uncooked and comes out cooked and perfect. The method of cooking pasta will vary depending on the recipe.

This particular recipe will require 4 cups of water for 12-16oz of pasta.

How do you make Gluten-Free Ninja Foodi Taco Pasta?

Making this in the Ninja Foodi is very simple. The first step is to cook the ground beef using the saute function of the Ninja Foodi.

Once the ground beef is cooked, all the remaining ingredients will be added. Then, you will cook it on high pressure for 6 minutes.

What do you need to make this recipe?

• Ninja Foodi
• Gluten-Free Pasta
• Water
• Tomato Sauce
• Diced Chilies
• Lean Ground Beef
• Gluten-Free Taco Seasoning
• Shredded Cheese

Tips for Making Taco Pasta in the Ninja Foodi:

It’s best to use very lean ground beef so that you do not need to drain it; however, if you do need to drain it, simply take the pot out with mitts and drain it, then return the meat back to the pot.

A quick release of the pressure and a nice stir, it was a delicious pasta all in one dish!

It’s very important that you do a quick release of pressure because if you do not release it immediately, the pasta gets mushy.

This particular dish will use the saute function for the beef and then the pressure cooker function.

We paired ours with some corn, of course, a salad is nice too. Once it was paired, we had dinner ready to go. This made enough to serve 8 or more.

What products do I recommend for this recipe?

First, you will need a Ninja Foodi for this recipe, or you can use your Instant Pot. Then, I highly recommend some mitts to go with the Ninja Foodi.

These do come with the deluxe; however, they did not come with my 6.5 quart Foodi.
