How to Build Your Own Pasta Dishes || Instant Pot Shortcuts

- Here are the basic measurements I use when building my own pasta dishes in my Instant Pot (Instant Pot-sta!)
1lb of cooked meat of choice (if your meat is raw you can brown it on the "saute" setting in the Instant Pot before adding the rest of the ingredients)
32oz of sauce/soup of your choice
1lb of dry pasta
about a teaspoon of salt
3 cups of water
Stir ingredients and lock lid. Set release valve to "sealing". Cook on "Manual" setting at high pressure for 5 minutes. Quick release all the pressure as soon as the cook time is finished. Stir pasta and serve immediately.
I used my 6qt Instant Pot (IP-DUO60 7-in-1) in this video. You can find it on Amazon here: amzn.to/2ii6tIK (affiliate - thanks!)

I love the way you pack so much info into a short time. One other very nice lady takes about 30 minutes to say what you say in two.
Elaine Root very diplomatic!
Plus all of the extra tips. With clear simple instructions. Plus she has the recipe info in the description box below. So helpful.
Indigo Nili rules!!!!!
You inspired me I just made dinner it’s sooo soo good. I thawed 4 hamburger patties in the microwave sautéed onions and garlic in my
Instant pot in some avocado oil /and a little olive oil Added about 1/4 cup of beef broth to help clean the bottom of the pot then added 2 1/2 cups of water, 32 ounces of traditional Prego, added penne pasta , a little salt a little Italian seasoning , cooked for 5 minutes , quick released and stirred it up it was perfectly cooked a little al-dente and then added some cheddar cheese stirred it in.. I’m on my second bowl lol
Thank you!
I just want to thank you for sharing this. I've done this countless times after watching your video and it has been a game changer!
I love making pasta in my instant pot, turns out great. I like to add a cup of mixed veggies in it and I add about a half of teaspoon of Italian seasonings and garlic powder in it too. 🤗
the pastabilities are endless
Thank you thank you. I make instant pot pasta all the time now, this is a really helpful video!!! Recipes online and other videos don’t lay it out as simply.
I'll so glad to help!
I came on looking for Instant Pot and someone using Tri colored Rotini pasta...and there you ARE....it's just the best ever Nili...you're the answer to EVERYTHIING ~ thank you sooo much for all you do...you do SOOO much...it's awesome. I'll make this later today for sure... Hugs !
Your limiting yourself - just use "pressure cooker ______________" because that's all that the Insta Pot is. You can find much more info out there :)
The “pasta”bilities are endless. 😂
Your eyes are amazingly hypnotic and thks for the info on the pasta dishes. Look forward to trying some of your ideas.
Thank you for posting this and many other recipes. I've had my instapot for over a year and intimidated to use. This will help me out a lot. Thanks again. 😊
Don't be intimidated! So worth it
My husband bought me a instant pot for Xmas can't wait to try this out
Hey, Nili! That was me who shared this video on Instagram! I do the store's Instagram account and we just started selling the Instant Pot so of course I thought of you. ( I've been a fan of your channel for a while! :)) Your videos are perfect for the beginner and your healthy cooking is just what our customers love. In a word, you're awesome!!
Thank you so much, as a new owner of an IP it's been difficult finding measurements. Could have saved myself hours if I found this video first.
Hey Indigo Nili...thanks for the post. I've watched several of your videos (just got my Instant Pot three months ago and I love it) and you have been very helpful....Keep the good work flowing!
I looked at several instant pot pasta videos and I'm choosing to make yours. Nice job, thank you!
That saved me so much time, specially with 3 little ones at home. Thank you!
I keep coming back to this video to make pasta dishes in my electric pressure cooker. Your method is fantastic, and I have now become a subscriber to your channel. Thank you Nili :)
Great video, great tips! Thank you.
I love your videos. I’m new to the instant pot and you are so helpful.
+judy kay Slowey-Sly I'm so glad too help! 🙂
Hello, I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I have been learning to cook for years and I can never get the hang of it. I recently purchased an instapot and out of all the videos on the subject I think yours have been best. Thank you!!!
I'm so glad I could help! :)
This is amazing! You're the best! Can't wait to get home and try this tonight!
Another super helpful Instant Pot video! Thanks and please keep them coming. I love mine so much, but I'm still new with it and appreciate what you are teaching us.
I just purchased my instant pot. I love your videos! I started with your video on unboxing my instant pot and have watched many others since then. Your videos are easy to follow and inspiring. Thank you!
That's great! Thanks for watching! Glad I could help get you going! ☺️❤️
This was great. I just needed an extra 2 minutes for the rigatoni I love.
Thank you!
I'm going to try to cook just pasta first then I'm going to put everything together wish me luck thanks for sharing your videos I learned a lot
I can say that this video made dinner delicious thank you Indigo and thanks for taking the time to make this video!!!
Hi NilI: Made this tonight for dinner and it was great. My husband loved it said it was one of the best meals I have made. It's great and will be keeping recipe. Thank you!
4:26 is my favorite time of day, and that is when your were making this video according to the clock on your range.
solid insight. Thanks for putting it out there.
Awesome video and very informative. Thank you for the effort, much appreciated!
This is extremely helpful. Thanks for posting.
Thank you this was so helpful and I like the different ideas you throw out
Great video. Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Wow that was super easy and fast, and i can understand specially when you have hungry children like you do. Thank you for the recipe ☺
After yesterday’s ‘water test’, today I cooked cauliflower and cabbage, glass bowl, 1 cup of water, three minutes. You should have seen the fear in my husband’s eyes when I vented.🤣
+Linda Friend Lol! Glad everyone made it out alive!
Thanks Nili, just did it perfect.
thank you so much for putting these how to videos up. this is a complicated machine and since i got mine before Christmas of 2018, i have yet to even plug the thing in to figure out how its supposed to work. Thanks to you, I now have a reference guide to look at while messing with this piece of equipment.
I'm so glad to help!
Thanks a bunch, just the info I was looking for! I almost passed it by because I am whole food plant based and didn't want the meat, but in this case, not a problem to just omit it!
+Char Covelesky Yes! This is a totally customizable technique!
Char Covelesky....that's just what we did..and now it's a staple & we add diff't veggies, etc... this was just the best intro to pasta making in the Instant Pot for us...it has gone a longggg way to bringing lots of enjoyment to those we love! :)
Thank you so much for posting this!! I’ll use it for sure!
Thank you! I have been so nervous trying pasta. This was brief and informative. I am gonna try this.
Thanks for instructions on making pasta in instant pot!
Love this ❤️. Penne Pasta works well too! Instant Pot rocks!
Is the cook time still the same with Penne (5min)?
Made it tonight for dinner! Hubby loved it!
Thank you for showing how to cook so many things in the instant pot!!
You're welcome! ☺️
Thanks for sharing! Great videos!!
Just what I was looking for, thanks Nili ;)
Straight to the point, and easy to follow!new subscriber! Thank you xxx
Omg thank you! Exactly what I needed
Aha! 5 min + QR sounds much more reasonable for pasta than 10 min I just saw on another channel. Thank you! :-)
I just made it with Spam....so yumiiiiii! Thanks for this video! ❤️
Great video. Thanks SO much ❣️
Great tips !!!!
Thanks for your reply!
Thanks! That was fast and informative :)
Great info! Thanks
As a single person, I bought the 3 qt Instant Pot. Having found your wonderful channel, I ordered the 6 at, arriving today, along with colder weather. Soup or pasta will be on tonight. Thank you, and God bless your family.
Why did you decide to try the 6 qt? Curious. I love the 3 qt
So helpful!
Finally, an Instant Pot pasta recipe that gives me perfect al dente pasta!!! TY Nili, video liked, channel subscribed to. 🙂
Great video thank you!!!!
Thank you. Yours and six sisters stuff is really good. I just wanted the goddamn facts and now I have them. I’m just doing a simple macaroni thing tonight and I wanted to just be able to do this quick.
Bought an IP recently, but am a bit overwhelmed and haven’t used it yet. I think could do this👍
Linda Friend don’t feel bad. I bought my instapot on Black Friday 2015. I haven’t cooked anything in it. I was really afraid of it which is weird because I used a stovetop pressure cooker in my younger days!! I am just discovering the RUclips videos. This channel really does explain everything so well. I am going to introduce myself to my instapot. Wish me luck.
Corinne Brown I did the water test thing yesterday. It’s official, I can cook water in the Instant Pot!
I did the same...didnt use the Instant Pot, watched YT videos, got inspired, still inspired and now have two Instant Pots!
I love making pasta in my IP. Tonight I'm adapting a recipe from a book. I'm going to cook the pasta plain, strain it and then cook it with all the cheeses asked sauce ingredients on Saute. I'll cook the pasta 1 min less originally so it doesn't overcook on saute.
You have one more subscriber .. Thank you for your recipes.🙂👍
Thanks for the video! 🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for this video. I'm trying several foods I'm my mini I P, that is new. I haven't been able to get the proportions for plain pasta (to add to a salad). It always get with lots of water, or too much dente... I'll try your suggestions. Great to have found you, I've watched some of your videos, and are great. Concise and very useful 🙏🙏🙏
Love your posts
Thank you SO much for this video!!!! I have been wanting to try pasta in my instant pot but I have been a bit intimidated lol. I love using my IP in the hot summer since I can give my husband a good hot meal when he gets home, but I didn't have to heat up the kitchen to do it. :) Btw, random weird comment but you have such beautiful eyes!
OOPS!!! I should have read the comments before making mine. I see that you did cook the meat first. Love, love, love your videos. I have been binge watching them.
Thank you I'm new to all this
Thank you.
Thank you 😊
Thanks. I just bought my instant pot and am looking for "the basics" to start out with. I think this sets me up for the pasta end of things. Pretty blue eyes too...
💕 Thank you !! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
*I love the instant pot so much! I have made quinoa, chicken, chili, asparagus **MyBest.Kitchen** and yogurt in it so far. The only thing that didn't work great was the asparagus. I cooked it for 1 minute and it was still overdone. It is a timesaver and uses much less energy than my gas stove.*
Can't wait for my pot to arrive.
I prefer to use egg pasta. It does not overcook easily..
Tried this with a small pasta and came out great. Would this work for spaghetti? Thanks for great tip!
thanks just what i needed....
from a klutz in the kitchen
A lot of crock pot type meals say to add olive oil to rice, beans etc. and just wondering if you have to do the same with pasta.
Just made this with veggie burger and corn. Wish I'd known about this long ago. Yum and so easy. Actually, the Instant Pot probably wasn't invented yet.
Do you use 3 cups water for plain pasta in a 3 quart mini ip?
Have you tried this with using boiling water to start with ? I have one of those electric water kettles that boils it in a minute. Pasta might come out better?
Alfredo is something you tried? I thought you couldn't do a cream sauce, under pressure?
question: can you use frozen cooked meat on the bottom and the rest of the ingredients on top? Have you tried it? It'd probably change the cooking time, right?
Hi! 😊 Now that you have an 8 quart I’m interested in hearing if your pasta cook time switches to 4 minutes. I’ve found that 5 min in a 6 qt works best and 4 min in 8 qt works best. Maybe it’s elevation - don’t know. Egg cook times are much less as well. I do 24 eggs in 8 qt for 3 minutes for “hard boil”. Love your channel! Thanks for all the tips!
I haven't done pasta in my 8qt yet but I did notice a cook time change with eggs! I tried to do my soft boiled eggs fro 3 minutes like I did in my 6qt and they came out almost hard! I now do 2 minutes and they're great.
@@IndigoNili Any change in time for the 3 quart?
I cook in an 8-qt and have not changed times on any of the pasta recipes I've made
i just got my instant pot!
THANK YOU!!!! 😁
Its whats for dinner tonight. Ive pretty much always hated cooking. But sense the Instant Pot and your videos, Im actually excited. Thanks again for helping me feed my Husbad without the stress. 💕
I love that so much! Instant Pot to the rescue! 😄
@@IndigoNili Exactly! 😂😂 💕
Wow you got some amazing natural beauty
THe meat can be cooked in the instant pot on saute then add the other stuff to it. It says it is the one pot for the whole meal
Awesome tip Ms. White. If you’re short on time, want to avoid extra dishes, or just want convenience, you can definitely cook the meat first and then cook the pasta over it. Meat is much more robust than pasta, so it should hold up through the second “cook”.
I noticed other videos suggest browning meat on sauté mode before adding everything else. This video didn’t. I prefer not to as I truly want something fast. Does anyone know if it really makes a difference?
Half the boil time for pasta is all the time u need to cook it in an IP, incl for whole grain pasta
Use ur sauce jar for a measure for ur extra water for pasta added (so I use 29-32oz crushed tomatoes w/added spices n the grease from my meat instead of spaghetti sauce, so 29-32oz is what goes in my pot)
Adding extra salt for the pasta water is a good tip!
Also WHOLE GRAIN PASTA (we don’t buy refined, white pasta, only whole grain or lentil/chickpea pasta (sometimes rice for a wheatfree kid, which ISNT wholegrain):
**Only use 1/2-2/3 the pasta called for if u use whole grain**. It’s just too much pasta in there otherwise. It drinks up all the sauce!
For anyone interested, making ur own spaghetti sauce is simple, 30oz can crushed tomatoes, 15oz can diced tomatoes, herbs n spices u like, plus brown ur meat w/onion, garlic & green pepper in the pot first and don’t drain grease. No EVO needed now. I usually add raw sliced mushrooms in with the sauce ingredients. U don’t need sugar either. I’ve heard a carrot, shredded will take acidity away but we like it just fine w/o it so I rarely do it.
Go price a jar of sauce compared to crushed tomatoes! The jars are only 2.5 cups now too!
still catching up, so you may have done this already. I cook my meat on saute right in my pot. Saves on dishes :-)
That was straightforward and simple. Appreciated it, going to try this out!
Nili! I can't get my new IP Duo to cook pasta for the life of me. I have tried a few times and I keep getting the Food Burn error/the IP won't pressurise. I'm following the recipe approximately (as I'm Australian), using 500g of beef, 1kg of sauce, and 3 - 4 cups of water. What am I doing wrong?
Does someone know how many cups of water when using the 8qt pot with spaghetti, Last week I cook the pasta on your video, gave me the burn notice but was still good (family like it)!! Today I try it with spaghetti, burn notice and the spaghetti was stuck in the bottom and not cook all the way. So I deglaze the pot and try it again, burn notice show again. Has any one here successfully cook spaghetti in the 8 qt pot?
I'm a new Instant Pot user and I love your recipes but I've been reading that higher altitudes affect cooking time in the Instant Pot just like normal cooking. I'm at 4200'. What altitude are you so I know how much to adjust (if any). Thanks for your time ; )
Try adding +10% according to Pressure Cooker google search I did. it would be 30 seconds acc to math. Try 6 min for rounding up.
I have an 8 qt IP Duo and would like to make a larger batch of spaghetti than you show here. Would it be possible to double the ingredients in the 8 qt and what would the cooking time be? If not able to double how much more do you think I could use? Also, are regular spaghetti noodles ok to use or do they get to soft because of being thin? I just started using my Instant Pot and I’m trying to get more experience and success under my belt. I find your videos some of the easiest to follow and i like you tips you give along the way. Thanks.
+Bill Paul I haven't tried a double batch but I see no reason why it wouldn't work as long as all the ingredients were doubled including the water. As far as spaghetti noodles... As long as they aren't angel hair spaghetti I think cook time would be the same as in this video (I haven't tried though so this is just a guess!) Just make sure that the noodles are separated when you put them in and not in a big clump. I would probably break them in half to make that easier.
If you do try it please let me know how it turns out!
How can i save or copy the printed recipe for future use??
Maybe a silly question, but did you cook the meat before adding it to the pot?
Yes, meat is cooked first
I did everything to the T. And I got the burn notification. Help!
Hi Nili, I did my first pasta dish with Kielbasa which was already smoked and cooked. It was fantastic. Now I want to do another batch but with Johnsonville Italian Sausage which is uncooked. Does the sausage have to be cooked first before doing the pasta dish? Thanks, I love my 8qt Instant Pot!
I would cut the sausage and cook it in a iron frying pan in a little oil. I do it this way mainly to avoid the BURN message. It is hard to keep the little crumbs of sausage from sticking to the bottom of the IP. If you saute the sausage there, then you have to put some liquid in the pot and use a wooden utensil to scrape those little pieces free from the IP bottom. They invariably give the BURN message.
