    Do you not find your noodles overcooked? Typically when I cook pasta I put the pressure cooker on for 1/2 the time of the directions on the box and then quick release right away. The noodles are cooked perfectly every time.

    Nice, and similar to a recipe I have used. The IP is a great appliance but the cooking times they give are a bit of marketing voodoo… the pasta cooks for much more than 4 minutes: 14 minutes when the 10 minute cool down to boiling temp is included. Plus some time while heating to pressure temp, probably takes quite a while heating that much water to above 100C. What is the total time from "on" to open?

    Oh my just made this but did everything by half. Came out perfect and it was SO easy! Noodles cooked to perfection. Didnโ€™t have evaporated milk so used a little cream instead. Worked great. I used some Mexican cheese I needed to use up and some Gouda. I think not buying the preshredded cheese would make it the creamiest. Grate your own cheese as pregrated has fillers. This one will be on my regular menu! Thank you for the recipe!!!!!!

    Just a suggestion, next time you make your Mac N Cheese, instead of using water, use chicken broth. Also add some paprika and a good heaping tablespoon of ketchup (yes, ketchup). I'm a rebel so I also add diced onion as well before sealing…
    I have an 8 Qt Wolfgang Puck Pressure Cooker and it takes 6 minutes to make the dish. I use the quick release method versus the natural release since there's no meat in it. As you know the fibers in meat will toughen up if you release pressure too quickly which is why a natural release is better with meat…
