Ooh, I’m not sure. The one time I used gluten free pasta in the instant pot (for my instant pot mac and cheese), it got super soft and gummy. It was a total fail. Can you google how to adjust for this? Wheat protein just behaves differently under pressure than other starches. :/

If that’s recommended, should the amount of broth in the pot be reduced (I’m guessing some liquid is “extra” to cook the pasta)?

No precooking required. It all cooks together.

Or does it cook in the 5 minutes? I don’t see mention of any specifics in the recipe.

I used andouille sausage and added artichoke hearts. Will definitely make it again

Oh no, Chris! I think this is because the pasta wasn’t pressed down and submerged into the liquid ingredients before the lid was closed to pressurize. Also, what kind of pasta did you use? Not whole wheat or bean pasta, right?

The pasta was hard (not fully cooked) when I opened the lid. I closed the lid and added another five minutes of cooking. It was pretty good with a couple of pieces of pasta that weren’t done. Is there anything I can do in the future to avoid this?

We ended up using turkey kielbasa (pandemic life) and it was just as good! We had our doubts about the pasta being too soft but it was not at all! It was al dente! This and the instant pot chicken teriyaki recipe are on our menu rotation. Thank you Christina!! Can’t wait for more instant pot recipes! 😉

Oddly, the grocery store was completely out of kielbasa (pandemic shortage? It was weird.), so I ended up using 3 links of smoked sausage. If you can’t find kielbasa, smoked sausage is an awesome substitute in this recipe, FYI. I also used just 1 tsp of the Tony Chacere’s since I know Cajun spicy is sometimes too much for me. Even with the reduced Cajun seasoning, the taste was amazing, so if you’re spice-sensitive, you can use a little less. Thanks for the tasty addition to my instant pot dinner rotation!
