Can you cook dry pasta in the Instant Pot?

Lots of people ask this question. I have heard fears of it clumping or even becoming too mushy. My rule when making instant pot recipes that call for pasta, and I never have to drain, is to barely cover the pasta with water. For instants, if I use 1 box of pasta, this usually amounts to about 4 cups of water or broth.

Cooking times will vary a bit, depending on the shells, but I use half of whatever time is on the box and ALWAYS quick release.

Instant Pot Supreme Pizza Pasta

Supreme. Pizza. Pasta. Can you believe that your Instant Pot can make this delicious recipe?! So much flavor and not enough stomach space to eat it all!

Wipe that drool off your face, I know after looking at all the yummy options you are probably drooling all over your keyboard or smartphone!

This is one awesome roundup, and I have a goal to make each and every single one of these recipes over the year. In our home, love the variety and we love pasta even more!

Pasta Recipes

This list includes recipes for even the pickiest of eaters. And with as easy as it is to cook in the instant pot, I will rarely use my stovetop to make pasta. With your IP you only have a few minutes cook time and it comes out perfect time and time again.

You can start with some dry pasta and pasta sauce, maybe even add in some cream cheese and pressure cook a meal fit for a king.

One thing I will also add is the instant pot does a great job of cooking the pasta to perfection.

I was actually concerned the first time I made a pasta dish in the instant pot that it might turn it to mush. As time began ticking down I kept thinking, will this be a fail? To my amazement, it was a huge success, and we barely had leftovers it was that good.

So if you are like me, and had that form of hesitation about the consistency of the pasta, have no fear! I think you will really enjoy these recipes, and your family will be thanking you!
