Instructions
- Place the following in the instant pot: the pasta, water, dry mustard, and hot sauce. Pressure cook on high for 4 minutes. Perform a quick release on the pasta. If the Instant Pot sputters out a milky liquid, wait 4 to 5 minutes before performing the quick release.
- If the pasta needs to be drained, drain the pasta and place the pasta back into the pot.
- Stir in butter, cheese, hot sauce, and milk and allow the cheese it to melt. Serve promptly.
Notes
- User only semolina pasta. Pasta that are whole-wheat, bean-based, low carb pasta, do not work well.
- Should the InstantPot sputter when you perform the quick release, open the pot more slowly, and consider placing a thick towel over the release
