Step 5

Add the sauce and stir.

Step 6

Add 1 cup of the water and stir. Turn off the sauté setting.

Step 9

Close the lid and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.

Step 10

When the cook cycle has finished, turn off the pot and let it sit undisturbed for 3 minutes (3 minute natural release). Then turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to release the remaining steam/pressure.

Step 12

When the pin in the lid drops back down, open the lid. Stir the noodles.

Step 13

Place the lid back on, but don't seal the vent. Let the pasta sit for about 5 minutes, then open the lid and stir again. Separate any stuck together noodles.
