What this video covers
Cooking pasta in a pressure cooker on a sailboat reduces fuel consumption and minimises the risk of handling boiling water in rough seas. To achieve the correct texture, use short pasta shapes and calculate the cooking time by halving the package’s recommended duration and adding one minute.2:34 For a 10-minute pasta, cook for six minutes under pressure.2:34 Begin by sautéing pancetta, onion, and chilli in oil directly in the pressure cooker, then add canned tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes to develop the sauce.4:38 Add 250 grams of pasta and enough water to just cover the noodles, ensuring the water level is flush with the top of the pasta to prevent excess liquid.10:04 Once the cooker reaches pressure, move it to a low flame to prevent sticking.11:34 After the timer expires, release the pressure, stir in pecorino cheese, and finish by "risotting" the pasta over low heat if excess moisture remains.15:58 This method concentrates flavours and keeps the galley safe during passage.
