Notes
Cooking with Pasta Tips:
- When placing spaghetti and spaghettini into the Instant Pot, break them in half so that they fit into the pot.
- Drop your pasta is a criss-cross fashion. This prevents the pasta from sticking into clumps when it cooks.
- Submerge the pasta as much as possible so that you don't get any uncooked, hard pasta when it's complete.
- Don't worry if the pasta seems a bit more watery than expected. The pasta will continue to soak the liquid after it's cooked.
- When releasing pressure from the Instant Pot, place a tea towel on the vent, then release. This prevents splashing/spraying. Careful, the towel will be hot from the steam!
