Simple Instant Pot Mac and Cheese
When it comes it making recipes in the Instant Pot, I’m kind of a newbie! I’d heard so much about them but haven’t made all that many. I feel like I’m slowly sticking my toe in the water and making fairly simple recipes. Almost too simple, but I thought I should share them because there might be other people out there like me who are looking to just get started and need beginner recipes to make!
One of my other favorites for Instant Pot Beginners is our Tomato Basil Soup recipe! It’s easy to make and always turns out delicious!

TIPS for USING an INSTANT POT

This is the Instant Pot that we use at our house.  It’s a great size for our family of four plus leftovers!

Thinner varieties of pasta like spaghetti and angel hair may be prone to clumping.

Because of how fast food cooks in the Instant Pot, it will generally be easiest to prepare all of your pasta at once and refrigerate what you don’t use.

Pasta cooks very fast in the Instant Pot/ Pressure Cooker – be sure to only set it for 5-6 minutes for the perfectly cooked pasta!
