I made this again tonight to rave reviews, as always. If I wanted to add a pound of ground meat to the recipe, would I brown it first? Or just cook it in a skillet and add it to the vegetables when I add the cheese?

Thanks Jerry – glad you enjoyed it. If you want the eggplant firmer, cut it into larger pieces or reduce the cook time. You can spray your spoon with non-stick spray 🙂

Tasted really good.
However the eggplant cooked to mush and the mozzarella balls stuck to the serving spoon.

Hi Joanna – the cook time for different types of pasta may be different. Check the cook time on the box, divide it in half and subtract 1 minute. There’s more info on our cooking pasta guide https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/how-to-cook-pasta-in-the-instant-pot/

Hi! Trying this tonight but wondering if I’d increase time for whole wheat pasta?

Hi Lisa – I haven’t tried it but that should work. You could eliminate the tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, garlic, salt, red pepper and Italian seasoning. Add the egg plant, pasta, water and pour the marinara sauce on top, and don’t stir it in.

Can you make this with pasta (marinara) sauce?

In reply to RomieDomie. Thanks for the rave review! Sounds like a delicious way to change it up.

*WOW* This recipe is fantastic. My family is not a fan of eggplant. I made this tonight for dinner. I substituted shredded mozzarella for the mozzarella balls. Mixed the mozzarella and parmesan into the mixture when done cooking. We sprinkled some bread crumbs on top and served. This was delicious and is being added to my recipe rotation. Thank you 🙂

I made this tonight and it was wonderful! I substituted a jar of roasted eggplant I had in the pantry, making the dish that much simpler. This is going into regular rotation.
