Can you cook noodles in pressure cooker?

Absolutely yes! Its so easy and it turns out perfect each time. The main secret to perfect pasta is to make sure you cover it with liquid and once its pressure cooked, quick release and separate the noodles. Try my other instant pot pasta recipes:

1. Instant pot chicken lo mein noodles
2. Instant Pot Fettuccine Alfredo pasta
3. Quick and easy Instant Pot beef stroganoff

The main difference between pasta recipes mentioned above and this Instant pot spaghetti and meatballs recipe, is that i used a frozen ingredient- meatballs and premade spaghetti sauce.

The easiest recipe on my blog! But if you prefer to use homemade meatballs, try meatballs recipes from this dishes- Air fryer meatballs  or Skinny Fettuccine Alfredo with meatballs.

Cooking pasta in Instant pot

When i cook pasta in my Instant pot i try to use spaghetti type, or linguine. Before cooking you need to break them in half. If you are using other pasta noodles like penne or rotini, there is no need to worry.

Just dump them in to your pressure cooker and cover with sauce. Once cooked, they will be perfect and not stuck together.
