The homemade sauce is what makes this instant pot noodle recipe stand out from the rest. Garlic, sesame oil, oyster sauce and soy sauce join forces for one insane dish.
What Pasta Is Best To Use
I used spaghetti noodles. It offers a stunning presentation. If you don’t have spaghetti noodles feel free to reach for other shapes.
Rigatoni or even penne could be a good replacement. We personally love this with spaghetti noodles but it’s up to you.
Can I Add Meat To Instant Pot Garlic Pasta
Of course! You can add in chopped chicken that is pre-cooked, cook ground beef or sausage on sauté mode, etc.
This recipe is versatile so you could add meat if you would like. It could easily be made into a full meal if you would like.
You just want meat fully cooked before you do the pressure cook of pasta. As the meat won’t cook in time or pasta is done.
Can I Double Recipe
You are welcome to double this pressure cooker pasta recipe. Just make sure your liquid and contents don’t go over the max fill line on side of the pot.
If you go over the line it won’t allow your pot to come to pressure as you will have too much in your pot.
So adjusting for more is great just watch that max fill line.

Do You Eat Cold or Hot
Either works for this recipe. I prefer to eat my pasta warm, but I don’t see why it would be bad to eat cold if you want to make it ahead of time.
Best Way To Reheat Pasta
If you want a quick reheat simply use your microwave. Place pasta in place and make it in the shape of a donut. Leave a hole in the center. This helps the pasta to reheat evenly. Then heat till warmed.
Or go for the stove and heat on low till Pasta is warmed to you preference. Either of these methods works great! And the pasta tasted amazing leftover!

What kind of protein would go good with this? How can I cook that protein in the same pot? I was thinking maybe shrimp? I’m open to any meats that would go good I want to try this but need protein with it.
shrimp, chicken or a beef would be great. The chicken or beef, add in the step #1 and start to saute for a few minutes to start cooking. Than continue to step #2
I assume that the olive oil is supposed to be used when sautéing the garlic, right?
I ended up doubling the recipe and needed 4 cups of broth to cover the noodles. They came out rather tangy tasting. I wonder if that was because of the olive oil?
Yes it is 🙂
This was good, but not quite as flavorful as I expected based on the ingredients. It needed a bit more salt, and I added a pinch of parmesan cheese on top to bring out the umami flavors. Also, my spaghetti was a little underdone at 4 minutes, and ended up a bit dry because it sucked up all the moisture that was left.
