Step 1
Add water, pasta, salt and oil. If cooking short pasta (penne, rigatoni, etc.), give it a stir. If cooking spaghetti or other noodle shaped pasta, break in half and lay in two batches in a criss-cross pattern. Do not stir.
Step 2
Close the lid on sealing position. Using the rule of thumb, calculate the cooking time for your specific pasta shape. Set Pressure Cook/Manual for the calculated pasta time.
Step 3
After the cooking time is done, use the intermittent pressure release technique (explained above or in notes) and release all the pressure. Open the lid when the pin drops.
Step 4
Stir the pasta and separate any clumps using two forks. Let the pasta rest for 3 to 5 minutes as this lets it absorb the leftover liquid. For a simple and satisfying meal, stir in your favorite sauce, such as spaghetti sauce or pesto.
