TOTAL TIME
1
Set the Instant Pot to 'sauté' mode.
2
Melt the butter and add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and sweet Italian sausage to the pot.
3
Sauté until the sausage is browned and crumbled.
4
Pour the pizza sauce, marinara sauce, and water into the pot, and stir into the sausage mixture.
5
Add the penne pasta, ensuring it is submerged under the liquid.
6
Cover the Instant Pot, set the valve to 'sealing', and adjust the pot setting to 'manual' for 5 minutes.
7
After the cooking process is done, perform a quick release and open the lid after the silver pin has dropped.
8
Mix in half the shredded mozzarella cheese and half the pizza pepperoni into the pasta.
9
Evenly spread the remaining cheese and pepperoni on top of the pasta.

Cover the pot again and let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese has melted and the pepperoni is warmed through. No need to place it back on 'seal' as the pot's residual heat will do the work.
