Receta 5-Minute Macaroni and Cheese with Tomatoes and a Panko Herb crust (Pressure Cooker Style)
Add a photoPressure Cooking is something I've been doing for 15 years. I can make a meal in a fraction of the time it would take on the stove or in the oven. This recipe cooks pasta, water and spices in 5 minutes, under pressure. Using evaporated milk, after pressure cooking, adds a creaminess that is rich and flavorful. Adding two cheeses, by the handfuls (off heat) creates a creamy and "just right" thick sauce. For a tasty "crunch" I made panko crumbs with butter and fresh thyme for the top of the cheesy pasta and broiled it until golden brown.

Direcciones
- Mix macaroni, water and tomatoes (if using), salt, mustard and cayenne together in a pressure-cooker pot. Lock pressure-cooker lid in place and bring to high pressure over medium-high heat.
- Cook for 5 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to maintain high pressure.
- NOTE: I use an electric PC, so I just locked on the lid, set pressure to medium low and set the timer for 5 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat. Quick release pressure, then carefully remove lid, allowing steam to escape away from you.
- Stir in evaporated milk and simmer over medium-high heat until sauce has thickened and pasta is tender, 1 to 3 minutes.
- *You can use 2% evaporated milk, just cook the pasta longer until it thickens
- Off heat, stir in cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, a handful at a time, until the cheese has melted and sauce is smooth.
- For the panko topping:
- In a small skillet, melt the butter and then add the panko and herbs. Gently combine with a fork. Add a layer of the topping on top of the mac 'n cheese and broil (on highest rack) for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
