Step 1

Heat the olive oil using the Saute function on the Instant Pot. I like to saute using the “normal” setting instead of the default “more” setting so that the garlic won’t burn. (Read the notes below to learn how to change the heat setting)

Step 2

Add the garlic, and saute about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the orzo and mix well to coat in oil. For more flavor, lightly toast the orzo by sautéing it for 3 to 5 minutes, so that the orzo is lightly toasted. Some pieces will turn a darker color, make sure to stir frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Add the water, stirring well to scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot.

Step 5

Lock lid in place.

Step 6

Program the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Quick release the pressure immediately when the cooking time is complete.

Step 8

Stir the orzo with a spatula, loosening any pieces that have stuck to the bottom. The orzo will be just a little watery and have a soft but slightly firm texture.

Step 9

Turn off the Instant pot and let the orzo sit for another 3 to 5 minutes with the lid set back on until the pasta has fully absorbed the water and has the texture you want.

Step 10

Scoop the orzo out of the Instant Pot into a serving bowl so it doesn't keep cooking in the residual heat. Add more salt to taste if needed.

Step 11

From here, you can serve the orzo with just grated cheese, or read the blog post above for other serving ideas. You can also chill the orzo and turn it into a cold pasta salad.
