Milk- Adding milk to the noodles will make them creamier.īoxed Kraft Mac- Use your favorite box of mac and cheese or some Kraft brand.
Water- You will need some water to help cook the pasta in the instant pot, but you will not need as much as if you were to boil the noodles on the stove. Even with the time needed to come up to pressure, this recipe is fairly quick. Depending on your stove, you can sometimes be waiting up to 15 minutes for the water to boil before even starting the pasta. After the time has completed do a Quick Release and turn pot off. Turn Instant Pot to High Pressure and set the time for 4 minutes. Too many dishes in the sink to strain your noodles? Use the Instant Pot, and maybe wash a few dishes as it cooks. Place the noodles from both boxes into the instant pot. Don't have a working stove? Use the Instant Pot. 4 Add in the contents of the cheese packet and some shredded cheese to make the cheese sauce.
