Add additional 1/2 cup cheese if you’d like it cheesier. Add 1 cup of the shredded cheese and mix constantly. Open the lid and mix the noodles to break them up. Oh and about that gluten free noodles part, don’t do it! I’ve tried GF noodles in this recipe and only cooked them for 1 minute and it was mush. Lock the lid, turn the knob to sealing, and cook on manual high pressure for 4 minutes with a quick release.

Rotini would be another great option, or pasta shells work nicely as well. It is like regular elbow macaroni went to beauty school and got an upgrade. Plus the curly pasta really holds on to the cheese sauce. The shapes give plenty of room for the liquid to get lots of coverage as it cooks. I love using corkscrew shaped cellentani, because it is fun to eat a bowl of curly mac and cheese. So it’s best to use either shapes with holes or big ridges so there are plenty of spots for that cheese sauce to cling. Using flat shapes can create a dense finished product. Any pasta shape that will create gaps between the noodles will work. Of course elbow macaroni is a great pasta shape for macaroni and cheese, but you don’t have to stop there. It’s also great with bbq ribs and so many other dinners. It was wonderful served with our bbq pork steaks and some zucchini. Serve it as a meat free main during Lent or anytime, or make it a side dish for BBQ, sandwiches, and more. The resulting pasta is going to be coated in tons of flavorful cheese. ![]()
