    Can you cook pasta in the Instant Pot?  Tips for cooking pasta in the Instant Pot:

    While I am not an expert on Instant Pot cooking,  I am trying to make it as useful as possible in my kitchen. In addition to the tender juicy flavor that food cooked in the Instant Pot has, it is ready in much less time than any other method of cooking.

    Many do not recommend cooking pasta in the Instant Pot, as the gummy water can clog the vent.  I did notice that somewhat, but I cleared the vent immediately after pressure was released.  In my experience, the lentil pasta caused less of a problem with clogging than wheat pasta.  Definitely don't over cook the pasta, as it will become very mush.

      Any suggestions if I cook more pasta then 12 oz of pasta? 1 More cup of water for every 4 oz over 12 oz?

        Honestly, if you are cooking more than 12 oz of pasta, I would cook the pasta separately. I have had pasta in the Instant Pot turn to mush, so I would not be able to recommend a larger portion since I haven't tested it.
