- Add the ziti and gently stir to combine.
- Secure the lid and set the valve to the sealing position. Pressure cook on high for 3 minutes.
- When the cooking time is complete, immediately quick release the pressure to prevent the pasta from overcooking.
- In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta and Parmesan cheese. Stir the cheese mixture into the pasta.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top. Replace the lid without turning the Instant Pot back on and let sit for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
