Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Elbow pasta
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup Medium cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika

Instructions
 

  •  In the stainless steel inner pot of your Instant Pot, combine the elbow pasta, water, salt, and stir to combine. Place the lid on the Instant Pot, set the valve to the 'sealing' position, and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. 
  • Once finished do a quick release. Remove the lid from the Instant Pot, keeping the pot on the 'keep warm' setting, and add the butter. Stir until completely melted, then add milk, the pepper and paprika. Stir until completely combined.
  • Add the cheese, stirring until melted. Serve mac and cheese immediately. ENJOY!

Notes

 You can put your IP on "keep warm" or on LOW sauté to help melt the cheese. Just make sure you stir constantly and turn the mode off once the cheese is melted that way it doesn't dry out.
