I know some people have trouble cooking pasta in the Instant Pot – but this recipe is quite fool-proof! The pasta was cooked perfectly, and all the flavors melded together amazingly.
I also think that shredding your own cheese makes a difference in a mac and cheese type pasta. It just melts so much better! Though if you are in a pinch, pre-shredded cheese will taste just fine!
Be aware that this recipe makes A LOT – so you could easily half it if you wanted to. We had at least half of it leftover.
