Cooking pasta in Instant Pot is a super easy and hands-free way to cook  simple, yet flavorful pasta. So many delicious Instant Pot pasta recipes included!

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz dry pasta of your choice
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken stock or water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Place dry pasta in inner pot of Instant Pot.
  • Add olive oil salt, garlic powder, and chicken stock. If needed, add enough water to barely cover the pasta.
  • Close the lid and make sure the pressure valve is set to sealing. Set the Instant Pot on Manual/Pressure Cook for 5-6 minutes (exact time depends on box directions).
  • When time is up, do a quick pressure release by turning the pressure valve to venting.
  • Carefully open the lid. Drain the pasta, if needed, and enjoy!
  • SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Season the pasta with prepared pesto, or add a splash of heavy cream and/or cream cheese, or simply stir in butter and parmesan cheese.
