Hi there – I am fairly new owner of the Instant Pot and so far, it is amazing. I tried this recipe and found the pasta isn’t cooked as much as we like it to be. I wondered what you would suggest: Leave it it maybe for 5 minutes high pressure or would it be better to do the 4 min. but do a natural release for a couple minutes instead? Thanks in advance.
Not sure what I did but most of the noodles burned onto pot. I put a cup of water. Do you cook it on high and sealed?
