Why Use the Instant Pot For Pasta?
If you're not making pasta in an Instant Pot, you're doing it the hard way - I promise.
- The Instant Pot pressure cooks pasta to perfection. No more babysitting a boiling pot - it does the timing work for you!
- It's so incredibly easy to make one-pot pasta meals using a pressure cooker. You can brown meat, saute veggies, and pressure-cook pasta to perfection in one dish!
- It's much faster than boiling water, dropping the pasta, and waiting for it to cook. Instead, everything happens at once.
I've talked about how to cook different types of pasta in an Instant Pot before, and the mouth-watering recipes you see below are perfect examples of how easy and flavorful these recipes can be. Take a look at this collection of simple dinner ideas!
