Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 pound uncooked elbow pasta
4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
2 1/2 cups shredded cheese
up to 1/2 cup whole milk
Directions:
Directions:
Noodles: Put the pasta, water, and salt into the Instant Pot. Cook for 3 minutes using the manual function. Quick release the steam so your noodles don’t get overcooked.
Cheese: Gently stir in the butter until melted. Add the cheese and milk (use 2-3 tablespoons of milk at a time, as needed, up to 1/2 cup). Add more seasoning or liquid as necessary.

NOTES
Cheese: My favorite cheese combo is 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup Italian blend shredded cheese. Really, any kind of cheese you like will be good here. I lean towards smooth-melting cheeses such as cheddar, gouda, gruyere, Monterrey jack, etc. Stringy cheeses (i.e. Mozzarella or Provolone) might be tricky to work with (think ooey gooey cheese bomb) but would obvi still taste awesome.
Season: I'll sometimes add Garlic salt to Garlic powder or hot sauce depending on my mood

I found this recipe online a long time ago on Pinch of Yum. I have used it a lot because on busy nights when your tired but everyone still needs to eat this is so easy and I generally have all the ingredients in my pantry or fridge. In just a few minutes we can have something comforting and filling! IT's yummy with whole milk but lets face it I use whatever is in the fridge!
