Ever tried it in your pressure cooker? Turns out, Instant Pot mac and cheese is layer upon layer of cozy. The way the Instant Pot cooks pasta makes it soft and supple, which has a down-home sort of vibe to it. It&#8217;s not al dente, but it almost feels like an elevated version of box mac and cheese. The big selling point here? The method is  very hands off: throw the ingredients in the pot and press Go! Nothing better than that. Here are all the cozy secrets to this method. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients-for-this-instant-pot-mac-and-cheese-recipe\">Ingredients for this Instant Pot mac and cheese recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This Instant Pot mac and cheese recipe <em>might <\/em>even better easier than cooking from a box. (Maybe?) You need only a few ingredients, and assuming you stock cheese and pasta: they might already be in your pantry. Here&#8217;s what you need: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Short pasta: <\/strong>Sure, you can use macaroni. But our favorite pasta shapes for mac and cheese are any other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acouplecooks.com\/types-of-pasta-how-to-use-them\/\">short type of pasta<\/a>: shells, penne, fusilli, bowties, orecchiette and more.

But here&#8217;s what to know about mac and cheese in the Instant Pot: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Cooking pasta in the Instant Pot comes out with a soft texture, not al dente.<\/strong> But here&#8217;s the thing: it&#8217;s still delicious! Cooking the pasta to a softer texture helps it to soak in sauces and it has more of a &#8220;down-home&#8221; cozy comforting vibe. Think of it as a totally different way to make a pot of pasta!<\/li><li><strong>Leftovers of this Instant Pot mac and cheese work too.<\/strong> Even though the pasta comes out soft, leftovers work too! Add a splash of milk and reheat it in a skillet, and this tastes almost as good as new.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-instant-pot-mac-and-cheese-basic-steps\">How to make Instant Pot mac and cheese: basic steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s barely 5 minutes of hands on time here! It takes about 25 minutes to complete, but most of this Instant Pot mac and cheese recipe is hands off. That&#8217;s what makes it great as a quick weeknight meal, or to whip up for kids or as a side dish for a stunning main. Here are the basic steps to this recipe: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Pressure cook the pasta for 4 minutes.<\/strong> Remember that there&#8217;s a &#8220;preheat time&#8221; of about 10 minute before the Instant Pot gets up to pressure. This part takes about 15 minutes total. <\/li><li><strong>Quick release! <\/strong>If you&#8217;re an Instant Pot pro, you&#8217;ll know: quick release recipes are the best! This means you don&#8217;t have to continue to wait for a natural release. <\/li><li><strong>Switch to slow cooker mode and stir in the milk and cheese. <\/strong>Stir until they form a creamy sauce, just a minute or two. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.acouplecooks.com\/instant-pot-mac-and-cheese\/?tp_image_id=82476\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acouplecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Instant-Pot-Mac-and-Cheese-007.jpg\" alt=\"Instant pot mac and cheese recipe\" class=\"wp-image-82476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.acouplecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Instant-Pot-Mac-and-Cheese-007.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.acouplecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Instant-Pot-Mac-and-Cheese-007-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.acouplecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Instant-Pot-Mac-and-Cheese-007-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bread-crumbs-optional\">Bread crumbs optional!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a mac and cheese purist, there&#8217;s something so satisfying about topping this gooey, cheesy mess with crunchy breadcrumbs. The contrasting texture is extremely satisfying. But of course it&#8217;s not necessary! We like using seasoned Italian breadcrumbs because it adds a little nuance of herbs. They&#8217;re easy to find at the store, or you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acouplecooks.com\/how-to-make-breadcrumbs\/\">make your own breadcrumbs<\/a> and add Italian seasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-noodles-for-mac-and-cheese-in-the-instant-pot\">Best noodles for mac and cheese in the Instant Pot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use macaroni for Instant Pot mac and cheese&#8230;but what&#8217;s the fun in that?
