Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound elbow macaroni
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 small shallot (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • A few grinds black pepper
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 6 ounces Gruyère cheese (about 2 1/2 cups shredded)
  • 6 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese (about 2 1/2 cups shredded)
  • 2 ounces Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (about 1/2 cup grated)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Place macaroni, broth, shallot, mustard, nutmeg, cayenne, salt, and pepper into Instant Pot and stir.
  2. Set vent to sealing position. Cook on manual mode, high pressure, for 4 minutes. (Pot will take about 10 minutes to come up to pressure before timed cooking begins.)
  3. Carefully do a manual pressure release by turning the vent to open. (We like to use a towel or a long-handled spoon to do this.)
  4. Stir in milk and cheeses until cheese is melted.
  5. Stir in sour cream.
  6. Serve hot.
