    Hi Meeta,
    Love all of your recipes. thank you for all of your hard work.
    my issue with pasta in IP is that they become dry after 10-15 minutes. i do quick pressure release but if we're having dinner then i'll serve first batch and leave rest in the pot and by the time i get to the next serving they are already dry like no sauce.

      Hi Mona - Thank you for the feedback. You can add a little extra broth or water when cooking the pasta. Also, it could help to take the steel insert out of the instant pot, so there is less heat around the pasta, and it wont dry as quickly.
