Usually I cook plain pasta, macaroni in an open pot but I feel its a time consuming job and baby sitting is also needed. We should stand nearby to avoid spilling over and keep it stirring to avoid sticking to the bottom. So I started cooking penne pasta, macaroni in pressure cooker recently. Its so easy, takes very less time when compared with open pot method. Mess free too.
Just add pasta and required water, pressure cook in high flame for 2 whistles. Drain the cooked water and wash with cold water. Viola ! Pasta is ready, cooked well and soft holding its shape. You can follow the same method for cooking macaroni as well. Sometimes pasta gets over cooked if you leave for more whistles. Still you can make tasty dishes with it. I definitely liked this way of cooking pasta easily in a pressure cooker. I hope you will love it too. Friends, do try and share your feedback. Lets see how to cook plain pasta/ penne pasta in a pressure cooker with step by step pictures and video !
