The reason that you want to choose your Instant Pot for cooking pasta is that you don’t have to wait for the water to boil and then drain it. The pasta water becomes the base of the sauce, which makes the pasta more flavorful and adds a little starch to the sauce to thicken up, so it’s a win-win. The Instant Pot also cooks recipes so much faster than other cooking methods and also to perfection as well.
