Instructions

Step 1
Fill ¾ of the Ninja PossiblePot with water and season liberally with salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. When the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 10 to 13 minutes.

Step 2
When the pasta is done, place the lid on the pot, align straining holes in the lid with either pour spout on the pot, then pour out the pasta water.

Step 3
Return the pot to the stove, over no heat. Add olive oil and butter to the pasta and toss to coat. Serve immediately as is, or with favorite sauce.
