Steps:
- Power up in the Instant Pot. Add the dry pasta, stock, butter, hot sauce, mustard, pepper and garlic powder to the inside pot and stir well.
- Secure and lock the lid; make sure the pressure handle is pointing to Sealing on Duo Classic. Select Manual/Pressure Cook and adjust the timer to 4 minutes on HIGH pressure. After a few beeps/seconds, the ON sign will come on indicating the pot is heating up and the pressure is building; pressurizing will take about 12 minutes and then the 4-minute timer will begin.
- Once the timer is done, use the quick release method to let off the remaining pressure (press the steam knob down or point to Venting on older models). Do not leave on natural release as the pasta will keep cooking!
- While releasing the pressure, hover a kitchen towel 20-30 centimetres above the steam jet to catch any foam. Oftentimes, when cooking foods like pasta, some foam can form during cooking. Beware of your hands and face!
- Open the lid. Most of the stock/water will be absorbed into the pasta but you might have a little left on the bottom. Stir in half a cup or a cup of hot milk. Follow by adding grated cheeses and stir into the pasta until melted. You can cover the Instant Pot with a lid for a couple of minutes to trap in the heat. If the pasta and cooking broth/milk are not hot enough, you can press the Saute button to heat up the pot sightly.
- Taste for seasoning and serve while hot.
