- Cooking pasta in the Instant Pot is so easy, you'll love it! Just dump pasta, water and salt in the Instapot and it will cook to perfection! You don't even need to drain it! INSTANT POT PASTA RECIPE: www.melaniecoo...
Finally, a video that just explains how to simply make pasta in the Instant pot. Everyone else was giving 15 ingredient recipes for something I didn't want.
but no measurementa or weights 🙄
@@JM-zw8cq @1:01 she does say "4 cups water for 1 lb of pasta"
I just tried this with pasta made from garbanzo beans. 8 oz pasta , 2 cups water, salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Absolutely fantastic!
Thank you!
You are welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed the pasta! 🤗
I sure do appreciate this video. I have watched it every time I make pasta in my instapot. Thank you for the straight to the point instructions .
Thanks, Connie! I'm so happy that you liked the video! 🤗🤗
Watching once isn't enough?
@@sergeychalkov4 I have memory issues so I watch it over every time I cook pasta
I just made this in the new 8 Qt. INSTANT POT Pro Crisp. Literally perfect. I think 3 cups of water is enough, but it is literally some of the best quality pasta I've ever had.
Thank you for posting a review! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the pasta! 😋😋
How do you know how much water is enough? All pastas are different :/
@@lillypinska4305 Instant pot has basically no evaporation, so the ratio of water:pasta is just what the pasta absorbs. You can work it out from the dry versus cooked carbohydrates per 100g on the nutrition label.
Thank you for clear, simple directions without wasting a lot of time like some channels do. I’m so glad I found this because I really needed it right now in my living situation. Thanks again.

I did exactly as your blog website said to do and our rotini came out perfect!!! I drizzled a bit of avocado oil over 1lb of rotini and 1 tsp of salt in 4 cups of water, and cooked for 3 mins with 5 min natural release …omg!!!
Thank you for posting a review! I'm so happy you enjoyed the rotini in the Instant Pot!
I would still drain it. Thanks for the video. I love pasta but don’t like waiting for the water to boil. This is so much easier.
You are welcome! Some types of pasta absorb the water completely so there is nothing left to drain, others have some water left, in that case drain it
@@MelanieCooksRecipes I made linguine with your method, it worked perfectly. There was some water left but it was no big deal. I like how we can reduce water usage by half, which makes this method even better than other methods.
@@cgullworld I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
@@MelanieCooksRecipes I converted my sister in India too. She was impressed with the method also, quick-cooking, and less water usage.
Thanks so much for this video. Finding videos like this makes me feel happy about purchasing the instapot
You are very welcome! 🤗
Melanie is the best
Thank you for making this easy to follow video. Going to make pasta in my IP tonight.
You are welcome, Rob! Please let me know how it turns out!
Yummy Pasta 😋
I love pasta 😋😋
@@MelanieCooksRecipes cool
Actually I made this in a different electric pressure cooker but with the same settings and it came out beautiful thank you.

I just cooked Angel Hair pasta, 2 cups of water, suppose to be 2 min but I forgot and went over 6 min, lol. It was dry when I opened it, no water but the pasta was PERFECT!
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
You are very welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed the pasta!
Very easy guide. I like how you get straight to the point. Thank you, Melanie.
You are welcome! I'm so glad you liked the video!
@@MelanieCooksRecipes thanks to you, I made a red sauce pasta with chicken cut as scallops and my brother and I loved it so much. Keep up the good work Melanie, you're amazing.
@@hackerkillerpk yumm that sounds so good! I'm so happy that you and your brother enjoyed it! 😋
@@MelanieCooksRecipes all thanks to you.
Honestly I love the texture way better ❣️
Awesome! 😋😋
Such a blessing to come across your video. I really appreciate you sharing it. 😊
You are very welcome! 🤗
I saw another video that said if you cover the steam being dispersed from the top of the instant pot with a rag you can void the warranty so just let it release the pressure normally without it being covered
Thanks for the tip! My instant pot is 5 years old so it’s way past the warranty worries :)
Thank you. The wind blowing your hair was a nice touch. 👍
You are welcome! I'm so happy that you liked the video!
Do you have a video how to use the instant pot duo plus
Beautiful. It works perfect for me. Thanks.
You are welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! 🤗
Good recipe. Thank you! Also, I read under the warning booklet that warns against blocking the vent at any time.
You are welcome, Kathy! Towel over the vent still allows for the steam to come through, it doesn't block it completely, but of course you don't have to use it :)
Looking forward to trying this soon! Thanks. Super helpful. Although I can't help but tease and make the joke, "No need to drain." *Scoops pasta out from water with draining spoon thing* :)
Lol 🤣🤣 It depends on the pasta shape and brand, some have no water left with this method and others have some left (but the amount of water is minimal). Please let me know how it turns out! 😋
@@MelanieCooksRecipes It worked great! (I finally remembered to update you. Haha.) My household is trying to find all of the ways we can minimize the amount of work put in for food prep, so this is great, plus I work with people with autism and finding easier ways to make cooking more simple and safer is a huge win. I practiced this with one of the guys I work with and he loved it.

How many mls is 4 cups of water? And what's the ratio of fluid to pasta, please?
No messing video, I like it. I didn't add enough water in my first attempt, all stuck to the bottom 😄🤣. 4 cups of water it will be from here on out.
I’m so glad you liked the video!
Big High Five Melanie🖐️ to me you are A-maze-ing Teacher, Thank You So So much🎊🎉
I have a riced veggies frozen 10 oz Green Giant Cauliflower and sweet potato can I put it in the
Ninja steamer or pressure cooker my air fryer is broken? I would appreciate your answer ((❤️🤗)) Theresa😀
You are welcome, Theresa! I have a video for Instant Pot frozen vegetables: czcams.com/video/OqSPlRvr6eE/video.html However if they are riced, they won't be the best if you put them directly in the water, I recommend putting them in a dish that fits inside the pressure cooker.
@@MelanieCooksRecipesThank You WOW!!!! ((((((((((❤️🤗)))))))))🎉🎊Enjoy Your your night 😀
Quick question. You said "you don't even have to drain pasta", but every scoop of pasta coming out of that Instant Pot has water running out of it.
I've found that with pastas like elbow macaroni, shells (as you've done there, although it's a different name), and pastas of that size, it needs 4 minutes, and a quick release. Perfect, every time.
For the larger pastas (rigatone, ziti), it might still be 4 minutes, it might be 6, it might even go so far as 15. But the ratio is right. 1 lb/4 cups liquid (chicken or beef stock work too).
There was a little water left, but not much so draining is unnecessary, it would absorb completely if the pasta sat in the pot for another few min. You are right, it depends on the type of pastas, some absorb water better then others
Easy! Thank you for this!!
You are very welcome!
I loved pasta how to cook.first time subscriber
Thank you for subscribing!
Hi how do i know how much water should i use if i dont want to use the whole bag of pasta?
Just enough water to cover the pasta
@@MelanieCooksRecipes thank you
@@erikabringas5718 you are welcome!
If I add one jar of pasta sauce, should I decrease the water? By much? And what’s the time for whole wheat pasta, do you know?
I never tried cooking it together with pasta sauce, I cook it with water only and then add pasta sauce after it’s cooked. If you try cooking with pasta sauce , please let me know how it turned out! I would decrease the water by the equivalent of 1/2 jar of pasta sauce and then add pasta sauce on top (without mixing the water) and cook for the same amount of time. Never tried it though, just guessing. For whole wheat, I’d increase the cooking time by 1 minute
hello Melanie i got this instant pot duo crisp for my birthday last year from my husband my birthday is in August and i told him i wanted one badly and i am always using it
Awesome! I also use my Instant pot all the time! And the air fryer too 😃
Thank you! This is a fantastic video!
You are welcome, Jacob! I'm so happy that you liked the video!
Love your videos! Thank you so much 😊
You are welcome, Angela!
Thank you so much!!! Simplicity is perfect!!!
You are welcome! Glad it helped!
Thank you. You go Melanie
You are welcome!
Easy to follow instructions thank you
Glad it was helpful! 🤗
Use Better Than Boullion Chicken Broth instead of water...if you do, skip the salt.
Great idea!
I always add broth for a little extra flavor - I leave out the salt
Great idea!
Thanks for the tip we have the exact same pot
You are very welcome!
Fast and easy! Thank You!
You are very welcome! 🤗
Can you make Spaghetti your way in your instant pot without meat, Or With meat. I love how you cook 👩🍳. Simple. Cold weather is here and people love cooking Soups in instant pot, specially beginners, like me. Thank you very much. 👍👍👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Yes you can cook spaghetti in the Instant Pot, just break it in half so it fits under water, add 4 cups of water and pressure cook for 1 min (as it's thin and cooks quickly) and natural release for 10 minutes, then quick release. If you want to make it with meat, you can cook meat on Saute, then take it out and cook the spaghetti, then mix spaghetti with cooked meat and pasta sauce.
Thank you for this video. Just finished reading the whole instruction book when I decided CZcams would be better lol.
Lol I never have the patience for reading the manuals :) I'm so happy that you found my video helpful!
One pound pasta to four cups water one tsp salt for two minutes. When done natural release of steam for five minutes. Then release steam button.
🤗
I thank you!
You're welcome!
If I just want 0.25 pound of pasta would I just use one cup of water? Thanks
Use just enough water to cover the pasta. I’d also do 2 min pressure cook time (as it comes to pressure quicker with less water). I never tried cooking less then the whole box at a time, so please let me know how it turns out!
@@MelanieCooksRecipes thanks ill give it a try
it’s 2 cups of water to 8oz pasta so 1/4 c 4 oz would be 1 cup water…. If you try it let us know how it turns out
Beautifully and simply done . Your a whiz !
Thank you so much, Eve! 🤗
thank you
You are welcome, Aibek!
Thanks Melanie for the quick recipe!
Could you please tell me me what should be the ratio of pasta to water? If I take 2 cups of pasta, how much water should I use?
Use just enough water to barely cover the pasta
Very helpful. Ty
You're welcome!
I get so impatient with pasta and rice, my instapot arrived yesterday, looking forward to using it. Does anyone use the presets? 😄
Lol I never used the presets
Thank youuuu just done it
You are welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed!
Can I use the same steps for one pound of spaghetti?
Yes just break the spaghetti in half so it’s covered with water
@@MelanieCooksRecipes thank you
Is it the same for egg noodles
yes
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Is the cooking time the same for whole wheat pasta?
Yes
My pot has no temp adjust for manual
Thank you. ❤
You are welcome, Veronica! 🤗
Thank You So Much!!! ♥
You are welcome, Miguel!
Most instant pot videos are confusing, because people never mention it’s NEVER 2 min - yes you set up pressure cook to 2min, but it takes like 10min for instantpot to get to the pressure point + like you said 5min release + 2min to release the air from the velve = the whole process is about 20min. I used to get so upset, I thought there’s something wrong with my instant pot, because in the videos the timer would start countdown and my instntpot was just showing ON.
Lol you are right, it does take quite some time to come to pressure before it starts cooking
Video notes:
Remember to add salt
4 cups = 1 pound of pasta
Cook for 2mins! Release pressure for 5mins
🤗
Nice video, but the instruction manual says to NEVER ever cover the sealing valve when depressurising. Its a safety thing, but also can damage the unit.
Thanks for the tip!
I'm trying this today
Awesome! Please let me know how it turned out! 😋
@@MelanieCooksRecipes Perfect. Whole wheat pasta.
@@R0yalBeauty77 I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🤗
Thank you sis
You are welcome!
Did you cook the pasta on LESS NORMAL OR MORE? Thanks
Normal
