Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • ½ tsp. paprika
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 lb. Fusilli Corti Bucati pasta or elbow pasta
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 4 tsp. Truffle oil
  • 12 oz. evaporated milk
  • 8 oz. Gruyere cheese shredded
  • 8 oz. sharp white cheddar shredded

Instructions

  • Add chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and paprika to pot and give a good mix. Then add butter, pasta, and finally salt. Lock lid and cook for 3 minutes at high pressure.
  • Once cook time is complete, quick-release pressure. Remove lid then switch to sauté setting.
  • Add truffle oil and evaporated milk - gently mix well.
  • Once it comes back up to a boil, switch to keep warm setting.
  • Add both cheeses ½ cup at a time, mixing well until all shreds have melted.
  • Gently give a good mix. Serve as soon as possible for creamiest consistency.

Notes

If you choose to use elbow pasta, increase cook time to 4 minutes.
If starchy bubbles try to escape the vent when releasing pressure, simply close the vent and try again in 30 seconds - releasing a little bit at a time.
