Notes
Water: Sure you add Enough Water to Cook pasta
Marinara Sauce: You can use any store-bought Marinara Sauce that you like. But, I like Rao's Marinara Sauce.
Push in Pasta in the Sauce: Before you cover the lid, make sure your pasta is coated in the sauce completely.
Cheese: It is best if you use Fresh Mozzarella Cheese and Fresh parmesan Cheese to make this recipe.
No Program Buttons: Do not press the Poultry/Meat/Rice function while cooking. Just use the "Pressure Cook" function. and set the time to 4-minutes.
Reduce time manually: When you set the time to 4-minutes, it will automatically set itself up to a particular time. You will have to manually reduce the time to 4-minutes.
Cook in High Pressure: Make sure you cook your Pasta in Instant Pot for 4-minutes in High Pressure.
Double the recipe: You can make it in an 8-QT Instant Pot and double the recipe. Then you should increase the cook time to 6-minutes.
