My favorite things to make in the Instant Pot is pasta. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’ll be surprised at how easy it is, and how it turns out perfectly cook every time. It takes just 8 minutes under high pressure to cook virtually any type of pasta. With the pressure build and release, that’s under 15 minutes to make a perfect pasta dish.
