What is Ricotta Salata Cheese and what are the substitutes?

Ricotta Salata is a harder, salty cheese that is suitable for grating. If you can't find Ricotta Salata? Try using Feta cheese, or Pecorino Romano, or provolone cheese. Although feta is saltier and tangier, the texture is very similar to Ricotta Salata. If you'd like to stick with Italian cheese, Pecorino Romano can also be used in place of Ricotta Salata. The Greek cheese Mizithra is also a decent substitute for Ricotta Salata. The Mexican cheese Cotija is also similar to Ricotta Salata, however, the texture is drier and the flavor isn't particularly nutty at all.

What is Rigatoni Martino?

The Rigatoni Martino recipe is a combination of sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and rigatoni tossed in a pink/marinara sauce, then topped with ricotta cheese and green onions. I made a vegetarian version of rigatoni Martino, but you can add meat of your choice.

Tips to Make Pasta in the Instant Pot:

• If you find your favorite brand’s pasta was slightly under or overdone, keep in mind to add or subtract a minute later. 
• The addition of butter or oil(if you are making vegan) will help to reduce foaming. 
• Don’t overcook the pasta
• If you think pasta is too dry, add 2-3 tbsp Milk. This will depend on the pasta type that you use.
• The pasta thickens as it cools down. So when reheating, you might have to add milk.
