Instructions
- Add the dry macaroni, water, butter, hot pepper, white pepper, and salt to the pressure cooker bowl. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Quick-release pressure and remove lid.
- Stir the pasta to release some of the moisture from the macaroni (do not drain).
- Add half of the milk, stir, then add the cheese a handful at a time stirring between each addition, until smooth. Add more milk for a thinner sauce.
- Stir in the cream and adjust salt if necessary. Best served immediately.
- Notes: Keep in mind when recipes are scaled back: You need at least 1 cup of liquid in order for the pressure cooker to come to pressure, so if the amounts are too small this could be a problem. Alternately you can cook on the stovetop. Also, just like when cooking rice, water ratios change as amounts change.
