I was looking for how to cook pasta in the Instant Pot and I came upon the following recommendation. I gave it a try with elbow macaroni and it turned out great.
1. Look at the pasta's cooking instructions on the box.
2. Take the lowest number and divide it in half
3. Subtract 1 minute to get your cooking time
So if the box says cook 8 minutes, take 8 and divide it in half to 4 minutes. Then subtract 1 minute to get 3 minutes cooking time.
Another example is if the box said 7-9 minutes. I'd take 7 and round down to an even number, 6. I'd divide 6 in half to 3 and subtract 1 to get 2 minutes cooking time.
Cooking Instructions
1. Add enough liquid to cover the pasta
2. Add a little oil to help with the pasta foam
3. Close the vent, seal the cooker and set the Instant Pot to pressure cooking on high for the number of minutes determined above (based on the pasta you are cooking).
4. When the timer runs out, let the pressure cooker natural release for 5 minutes and then release the rest of the pressure.
Enjoy! Your pasta is perfect and ready to eat.
