1. Step 1

   Start by setting your Instant Pot® to the 'Sauté' function and drizzle in some olive oil.

2. Step 2

   Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the Italian sausage, diced onion, and anchovy fillets.

   Let them cook for about five minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking up the sausage until it’s beautifully browned and fragrant.

4. Step 4

   Next, add in the diced bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, and black olives, giving everything a good stir to combine.

   Now, gently sprinkle the brown rice rotini pasta over the sausage mixture, creating a cozy layer.
