- In a small bowl stir together the tomato sauce, dried minced onion, Italian seasoning, oregano, basil, salt and pepper.
- Pour tomato sauce over the chicken. Add the uncooked pasta, then pour the water over the noodles.

- Once the time is up do a quick release of pressure. When the steam is released carefully remove the lid.

- Add the mozzarella cheese and place the lid on the Instant Pot until the cheese melts.
- Enjoy!
