2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated

1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated

½ cup cream cheese

2 tablespoons truffle oil (adjust for preferred flavor)

1-2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Add the elbow macaroni and chicken or vegetable broth to the Instant Pot. Stir to ensure the pasta is submerged.

Close the lid, set the vent to sealing, and cook on manual high pressure for 4 minutes.

Once the cooking time is up, perform a quick release by carefully turning the vent to venting.

Open the lid and add the butter, minced garlic, sharp cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese to the pot.

Stir the mixture until all the cheeses melt and blend smoothly into the pasta.

Drizzle the truffle oil over the mac and cheese and stir well to incorporate.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

If desired, let it sit on the keep warm setting for an additional 5 minutes to thicken further.
