Notes

We are using a full box of pasta in this recipe.
Using penne pasta in this recipe, which has a stove cook time of 10 minutes. To adjust for Instant Pot cook time - Divide the cooking time by half and minus one for al dente pasta. Hence we are pressure cooking for 4 minutes.
Always have enough water or broth to cover most of the pasta underwater. Depending on the shape of pasta you may need more or less liquids.
