Notes

Cooking Pasta: Cooking spaghetti in the Instant Pot is super fast which is why I like to use the pressure cooker. However you can cook spaghetti on the stove top if you prefer.
Blending: The key to getting the perfect feta pasta is combining the baked tomatoes and feta with the spaghetti while hot. This enables the pasta to absorb the flavors seamlessly, creating a harmonious blend. The heat from the just-baked tomatoes and melted feta works its magic, ensuring each bite is a burst of savory goodness. So, don’t rush it – let the warmth of the ingredients embrace your spaghetti for the ultimate flavor infusion.
