Description

Did you know you can make orzo in an Instant Pot? This rice-shaped pasta cooks in just 2 minutes!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup orzo
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Add 2 cups of water, 1 cup of orzo pasta, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt to the Instant Pot.
  2. Lock the lid in place and set to manual pressure cook for 2 minutes. It will take a few minutes to come to pressure, then the timer will count down.
  3. Once it’s down cooking, “quick release” the Instant Pot by releasing the pressure then removing the lid and turning off the Instant Pot.
  4. If there is still water in the pot, drain the pasta in a colander.
