1
Start by adding the water to your Instant Pot.
2
Then, layer in the uncooked ziti, evenly spread it out to submerge it under the water.
3
Pour over half of the marinara sauce and sprinkle the minced garlic on top.
4
Add ricotta cheese and half of your mozzarella and parmesan over the pasta, creating a cheese layer.
5
Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the cheese layer, ensuring all ingredients are covered.
6
Securely close the Instant Pot and set it to 'Manual' mode for 7 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, allow the pot to naturally release pressure for 2 minutes, then perform a quick release.
7
Stir the cooked ziti to distribute the melted cheese and sauce evenly throughout the pasta. Be gentle to avoid breaking down the pasta.
8
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top, then close the pot for a further 2 minutes to allow the heat to melt the cheese. Serve warm.
