I would like to cook your Creamy Mushroom Pasta recipe in my 3qt. instant pot. I assume that this recipe is for a 6 Quart pot since it's not in the recipes for 3 qt. Is it possible to do it in my 3 qt. pot, and, if so, how do I need to adjust the quantity of ingredients? Do I need to simply divide the ingredients in half?
Please advise me.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve, You can simply divide the ingredients in half and make it in your 3qt pot. The pressure cooking time stays the same though. I hope you enjoy it!
