How Long Does it Take to Make Instant Pot Pasta
If you make pasta at home, you know, you have to boil the water and wait. Once it boils, add the pasta and wait for it to cook, but want to make sure it doesn’t overcook. Then you have to drain it. In another pot, you have to create your sauce. With Creamy Ziti Instant Pot Pasta, you put all the ingredients in the Instant Pot and set it for 6 minutes. It is that easy.
Variations for Creamy Ziti Instant Pot Pasta
- If you like meat in your ziti, you can add ground beef, ground pork or even diced chicken to your Instant Pot Pasta. I would recommend cooking the meat beforehand or you will need to change the pressure cook time which can overcook your noodles.
- Want more Cheese? Add mozzarella cheese to the dish when you remove the lid. Add cheese and stir or add cheese to each individual serving.
