Instructions
- Add pasta, chicken broth, mustard, and black pepper to the bowl of an electric pressure cooker/Instant Pot. Stir until mustard is dissolved in the broth.
- Place lid on and make sure it is sealed and the pressure release valve is closed. Cook on manual setting "high pressure" for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, turn the pressure release valve to the venting position for a quick release. Allow the steam to relase fully until lid can be easily removed.
- Remove lid and add in the 3 cups of shredded cheese and 1/2 cup of either heavy cream or half and half. For a richer mac and cheese, use heavy cream.
- Stir the cheeses, cream, and pasta until all the cheese has melted and it is creamy. If you feel that it is a little thicker than you would like, add in an extra 1/4 cup of cream.
