4 Min Garlic Butter Mussels with Angel Hair Pasta in mini pressure cooker

Today, I cooked garlic butter mussels with Angel hair pasta in my mini Hawkins 1.5 liter pressure cooker. The cooking time was about four minutes, and the food prep was about four or five minutes. I purchased the muscles at Dollar Tree for $1.25. Overall, the meal cost less than $2.00, and if I had cooked more pasta, this could have served two people.
I had never cooked pasta in a pressure cooker before, and I was worried that it might be too soft or mushy. It was more starchy than regular pasta, where you drain the water off, but the taste and texture were fine. The next time, I will add less carrot because it was a little too sweet for the dish and some white wine or maybe some lemon juice.
Having a very small food processor was very helpful in mincing up the vegetables and if you don't have one they are surprisingly inexpensive and take up very little counter space I use mine all the time. I also am a big fan of the timer shown in the video because I have used those cheap dollar store timers and they would always break on me after a while however the one I have now which is a lux timer has been working fine for years period it also takes regular AAA batteries.
My next recipe with a mini pressure cooker will be meatloaf. I know it works because the other day I spent several hours making a video showing me making meatloaf in the pressure cooker and when I went to upload it the file was corrupted so I lost everything. But I still have 2 meatloafs in the freezer that I have not cooked yet, and they will be cooked in the little pressure cooker so you guys can see it.
I mentioned in the video I have over 200 cooking recipe videos I like in my playlist a lot of them are very unique videos where I was experimenting with inexpensive foods but some of them are from people who are excellent cooks like Chef Buck and I like the videos so much I saved them in my playlist. Check them out.
