Instant Pot Pasta
Making pasta in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker is very easy. In this recipe, I am going to teach you the step-by-step method and instruction on cooking pasta in an Instant Pot. This Instant Pot pasta takes only 8 minutes of pressure cooking. Dinner is ready in a jiffy and you will have the creamiest and most delicious pasta ever!
How To Cook Pasta In Instant Pot
You can cook all kinds of pasta in an Instant Pot but linguine is my favorite. Here are my tips for cooking pasta in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker.
Break the linguine pasta in half lengths so they fit perfectly in the Instant Pot. This tip applies to spaghetti. Make sure you have enough liquid to cook the pasta on pressure cooking. I used 3 1/4 cups of liquid for this recipe. The pasta should submerge in the liquid so they will be cooked perfectly. VERY IMPORTANT TIP: make sure you use a wooden spatula to stir the pasta with the liquid before you start pressure cooking. Push the linguine to the sides of the Instant Pot instead of all pilling in the center. This will make sure that the linguine doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pressure cooker or Instant Pot. This will prevent the “Burn” error message on your appliance. Reduce the sauce using the “Saute” mode for 1 minute if it’s too runny.

It calls for simple ingredients that you already have at home: garlic, Parmesan cheese, heavy whipping cream, chicken broth, garlic and lemon. This recipe takes only 5 minutes prep time. This is a quick dinner to make on busy weeknights.
Instant Pot Pasta Sauce
If you like extra pasta sauce, double up on the sauce ingredients of chicken broth and heavy whipping cream. The cooking time is the same. Do not overcook the pasta; the linguine pasta should be al dente, with a bit of a bite, not soggy and overcooked.
