Instant Pot® Mac & Cheese with Pancetta & Peas
This creamy, cheesy pasta is so easy to make in the Instant Pot®. No need to precook the pasta, which makes cooking and cleanup even easier. We love the twist of adding pancetta, peas and Parmesan for an exciting change of pace from traditional Mac & Cheese.
