Notes
I love the gemelli pasta for this recipe because it is a firmer, thicker pasta. The sauce is not a gooey cheesy one like macaroni and cheese, so I didn't want a tubular pasta. It's just my suggestion and feel free to use any type of pasta you like. My "Rule of Thumb" for cooking pasta in a pressure cooker is to look a the suggested cook time on the package of pasta. Choose the lesser time and then subtract two minutes.De Cecco is my preferred pasta as it holds up well under pressure. We buy in bulk (usually 5-6 boxes) from Amazon, as the price is generally than purchasing in the grocery stores.
