  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 2,5 cup sharp cheddar, shredded
  • 1 cup Gruyère, shredded

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add the macaroni, broth, butter and mustard powder to the pot, ensuring the pasta is submerged.

  2. 2

    Seal the lid and pressure-cook on High for 4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Quick-release the pressure immediately once cooking ends.

  4. 4

    Stir in the evaporated milk while the pasta is hot.

    Add the cheddar and Gruyère a handful at a time, stirring until fully melted and glossy.

  6. 6

    Let stand 3 minutes to thicken, then season and serve.

Chef's tip

Shred your own cheese off the block — pre-shredded cheese is coated in anti-caking starch that makes the sauce grainy instead of silky.

Suggested pairing

A crisp Chardonnay cuts through the richness of the cheese sauce.
