Steps
Tap an underlined word for a quick explanation.
Pour the water into the Instant Pot.
Add the frozen ravioli and spread them out as evenly as you can.
Pour the marinara over the top and sprinkle on the Italian seasoning. Don’t stir.
Dolly’s tip: Water on the bottom, sauce on top. That order keeps the burn warning away.Lock the lid, set the valve to Sealing, and pressure cook on high for 4 minutes.
Timer: 4 min
Dolly’s tip: It takes about 10 minutes to come up to pressure before the countdown starts. That’s normal.When it beeps, carefully turn the valve to Venting with a long spoon, keeping your hand and face away from the steam.
Stir gently so the ravioli don’t tear, scatter the mozzarella and parmesan on top, and set the lid back on without locking it for 5 minutes, until .
Melt. Melting means gently heating something solid, like butter or cheese, until it turns liquid. Low or medium heat keeps it from browning or burning.
How you’ll know: It’s smooth and liquid, and butter may foam a little but hasn’t turned brown.
Timer: 5 min
Serve with torn basil on top.
