When I first got my Instant Pot and started using it, I wasn’t sure if it was one of those things that would eventually just collect dust in our garage.

Three years later, I’m proud to say I use mine regularly- and it really has made my life so much easier as far as meal preparation goes.

There’s just so much you can do with it – from simple to complex – and I love coming up with new and delicious family-friendly recipes that we and our readers can enjoy.

This recipe uses simple ingredients that you almost always will have on hand, and it’s sure to become a family favorite.

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.
