No idea. There are a lot of pasta recipes in the Instant Pot Cookbook (which is kind of like the Set It and Forget It ... series for CrockPots, so recipes are hit-or-miss as far as clarity of writing, etc.) but I'll be the first to admit that I didn't read my instructions booklet super-carefully.
I haven't had any steam-vent problems and I've made a "sloppy lasagna" in mine. (It's good, but oddly bland.)
I do a meat sauce in mine, too. (Basically I use the Giada DiLaurentiis recipe for marinara but add browned turkey to it before setting the pressure cook or slow cook functions, depending on how much time I think I have.)
