There are some things in my diet that I’m just not ready to give up, like butter, bread, and…pasta. While I may not indulge myself everyday, sometimes I have to cheat and have a piece of buttered toast for breakfast with a side of bacon. I can’t help it. Luckily for the devilish side of my cravings, the 21 Day Fix has delicious and SMART ways to incorporate pasta into your culinary repertoire (aannnddd using your Instant Pot!) These 21 Day Fix Instant Pot Pastas are quick, easy, and tasty and what’s best? I don’t have to sacrifice everything to reach my goals, and that always makes me happy 🙂
