Ingredients

1 tbsp Olive Oil
8 oz Spaghetti
2 cup Water
3/4 cup Pesto
1/3 cup Sun-dried Tomatoes
1 tbsp Lemon juice, adjust to taste
Red Chili Flakes optional
Romano or Parmesan cheese, optional
Basil leaves to garnish
Spaghetti in Pesto Sauce

Directions

1. Break spaghetti in half (or smaller if you like) and place it in the BSTY Pressure Cooker. Add water, pesto, sun dried tomatoes, and olive oil.
2. Toss the spaghetti to coat and cover with the liquid. Close the lid of the pot with vent in sealing position.
3. Press the Pasta button and cook for 5 to 10 minutes. The time to cook is usually 1 minute less than half of the suggested time on the pasta box. This will give you al dente pasta.
4. When the cooking time is complete, select Cancel and use the quick pressure release value. Wait 2-3 minutes for the steam to release until the red floater valve drops down, and then carefully open the lid.
5. Toss the spaghetti with tongs, so all the noodles are separated.
6. Mix in the lemon juice if adding. Garnish with red chili flakes and cheese.

Chef's Tip

In 5 minutes, the spaghetti with be done. If you want softer spaghetti, add 1-2 minutes to cooking time.
If you like saucy spaghetti, add more pesto sauce. You can also add some heavy cream to make this a creamy pesto spaghetti.

Caution

Before opening the pressure cooker, use one of the included plastic or other utensil to carefully turn the pressure valve to "RELEASE" and then wait 2-3 minutes for the steam to be released and the red floater valve is in the down position before opening the cooker. When opening the cooker, use pot holders, and always keep your body, face and hands away from the steam vent. Be sure to stand behind the lid as you open it so the hot steam and condensation don't get on you. As with all kitchen appliances, be sure to keep the cooker out of reach of children.
