Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Cellentani noodles
  • 3 cups cheese shredded
  • 3 ½ cups water
  • 1 teaspoon Sodium Citrate

Instructions

  • Add pasta and 3 1/2 cups of water to the Instant Pot. Cook on high for 4 minutes and quick release. They will be slightly al dente but that's perfect. Mix. There should still be some water in the bottom.
  • Add a teaspoon of Sodium citrate and mix. Add two cups of shredded cheese and stir. Cook on high slow cook for about 15 minutes until cheese is melted. If you're in a hurry, use the sauté function but you will need to stir.
  • When the cheese has melted, add the last cup of cheese to the top and replace the normal lid with the air fryer. Cook at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes until the top is browned to your liking. Alternately you can put in another pot and broil the cheese, or just mix all the cheese in for a super creamy option. Season to taste.
