It doesn’t melt very well (kind of grainy) and the flavor gets kind of strong when melted. I used extra sharp cheddar because that’s what I had on hand, but I don’t really recommend it. Got it bubbling before adding the cheese, bit by bit. Put it all back in the instant pot, turned it to saute and added the dairy, garlic powder, and I used dry mustard. No problems with the quick release – maybe the veggies on top helped prevent foaming? I was worried that there might be excess water due to the frozen veggies so I drained the pasta and veggies in a colander, but it didn’t turn out to be that much water after all. I dumped it in on top of the uncooked pasta and water and set the timer for 5 minutes.

I used frozen broccoli and came up a little bit short so I added a few frozen peas as well. I wanted to skip a step by putting the veggies in with the pasta. I can’t really give a review since I did it a little bit differently, but I will make this again.
