Notes
- Make sure to rinse the pasta quickly after cooking and before combining with the rest of the ingredients - this cools it down quickly and avoids overcooking.
- Drain the pasta well before adding in the rest of the ingredients so the creamy dressing does not get diluted down.
- If not serving straight away keep it chilled and mix every so often for the flavors to infuse.
- For the Instant Pot version - you really do want to keep the time under pressure to 4 minutes, any longer will likely turn the pasta to mush.
- Cook time does not include the time it takes for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure or for the pressure to release.
- Store - in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3 days.
