broccoli cheddar pasta

Rich, creamy and cheesy, this Broccoli Cheddar Pasta is comfort food at it&#x27;s best! This family-friendly one-pot meal is everything a Broccoli Cheddar soup promises, and more.  Here&#x27;s a 30-minute dump-and-start recipe for your Instant Pot pressure cooker. Enjoy!

Broccoli Cheddar Pasta in Instant Pot

milk ((I use 2%)(can replace with broth or water))

water

garlic powder

salt (adjust

½ tsp ground black pepper

½ tsp red pepper flakes ((skip or adjust to make this mild))

carrots, shredded ((I roughly chop matchstick carrots))

broccoli florets (heaping cups) ((about 1 large head))

heavy whipping cream

cheddar cheese ((add more or less to suit your taste))

Turn Instant Pot on Saute mode.  This will warm up the milk and water while we are adding ingredients and reduce the pressure building time.  This step is optional though.

Add milk (see notes for substitute), water, pasta, seasonings, carrots and broccoli in the pot.  Stir and close the lid.  Pressure cook for 3 minutes. This time works for medium shell pasta, check notes for different pasta shapes.

After cooking time is up, wait 5 minutes and then manually release the pressure in bursts. What that means is, release pressure 1-2 seconds at a time, then stop. Repeat this till most of the pressure has released and its intensity has gone down.

Open the lid, add heavy whipping cream and shredded cheddar cheese and stir till everything comes together.  By stirring the broccoli florets will further break down and integrate in the sauce. 

If at this point, your pasta looks too dry, add 1/2 cup of boiling water. Add more or less cheese, depending on your preference!
