Notes
Storage
: Store leftover pasta in an airtight container for about 4-5 days. This reheats very well and the second day is even better after all the flavors have head time to meld together. If you want to freeze this recipe, you can. Pasta is not always the same after thawed, but as long as you don’t overcook the spaghetti, you should be fine. Allow it to cool completely and then transfer to a freezer safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
If your pasta is still pretty crunchy after the cycle, you can cover it back up and pressure cook for another minute or 2
. Thin pasta can cook relatively fast, so it’s likely not going to be the case, but sometimes things happen! You can also try letting it sit with the lid propped over top of the pot for a few more minutes to see if that helps.
If you decide to use a different pasta shape, you may just need more cooking time
. I have not tested this particular recipe with any sort of short pasta, but this
Creamy Parmesan Instant Pot Pasta
uses shells and comes out well! For regular spaghetti, about 6-8 minutes pressure cooking is suggested.
