Place 4 Tablespoons of Salted Butter into the Instant Pot, choose Saute on High. Once the butter is melted and bubbly, add ¾ Teaspoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper and let it saute for 30 seconds. Add 2¼ Cups Water and ½ Teaspoon Kosher Salt into the pot. Break the spaghetti in half and add it to the pot, wait about 30 seconds so they start to soften slightly and use a spoon or spatula to make sure all the spaghetti is submerged in the liquid.
Seal the lid, hit Cancel to turn off Sauté mode. Choose High Pressure for 6 Minutes, when the timer is up switch the knob to venting immediately, when the pin drops, open the lid. Add 1 Cup of Parmesan Cheese and stir well until the cheese is melted. Plate and sprinkle on more ground black pepper and parmesan. Enjoy!
