It is not that difficult to make pasta in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker. You can use any kind of pasta such as linguine or spaghetti to be cooked in an Instant Pot.
The first thing to do is the pasta, linguine or spaghetti is broken in half lengths. By doing this, the pasta is fitted right and well in the Instant Pot.
And then, you must be sure that the liquid is sufficient to cook the pasta on pressure cooking. 3 ¼ cups of liquid is suggested to be used for Instant Pot Pasta –Cheesy Garlic Parmesan Pasta-.
Next, the pasta must be immersed in the liquid so the pasta is cooked right and well.
Last but not least, use only a wooden spatula to stir the pasta with the liquid before you begin the pressure cooking. The pasta is pushed to the sides of the Instant Pot rather than let them pile in the middle.
By doing this, the pasta will not stick to the base of the pressure cooker or Instant Pot and avoid the “Burn” error message. The sauce is decreased using the “Saute” mode for 1 minute if it is too runny.
For the tasty Instant Pot Pasta –cheesy Garlic Parmesan Pasta-, you just need several ingredients such as Parmesan cheese, garlic, heavy whipping cream, chicken stock and lemon. If you want more pasta sauce, the sauce ingredients, which are the chicken stock and heavy whipping cream, are doubled up. Still, you will spend the same cooking time.
To have the best result, try your best not to overcook the pasta. The pasta, spaghetti or linguine is supposed to be al dente or firm to the bite, not wet and soft.
