Rigatoni with meat sauce, version 2

My wife retried the rigatoni recipe, but this time she added more water (3.5 vs 3 cups water). The pasta was softer. Next time she says she'll do 3 cups. No picture but it looked pretty much like last time.

Colombian chicken stew

Tonight's dinner was Colombian chicken stew after a recipe by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt. Somehow it didn't come out as brown as his recipe but it still was delicious.

I might have skipped it though because when I opened it, the pot was almost full of the cooking liquid that had come out of the veggies and chicken! Next time it could use some spices. Maybe curry? Maybe coconut milk?  Total time was actually probably a little more than an hour since it took almost half an hour for the pot to come to pressure.

Ground beef coconut curry and spinach, from the Indian Instant Pot cookbook . It came out delicious--rich, spicy, full of veggies. I tried to sell it to the family like an Indian beef luau. My son and wife enjoyed it, but my daughter (who loves beef luau) did not buy this comparison. She ate leftover beef luau from last weekend.
