- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 3 cups milk

- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 can crushed tomatoes (14.5 oz)

- Stir in the minced garlic and red bell pepper.
- Add the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, crushed tomatoes, milk, beef broth, and elbow pasta. Stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot to remove any browned bits. Make sure the pasta is mostly covered by the liquid.
- Secure the lid and set the valve to the Sealing position.
- Cook on High Pressure for 3 minutes.
- When the cooking time is complete, immediately perform a quick release to prevent the pasta from overcooking.
- Carefully remove the lid and stir well, making sure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- While the mixture is still hot, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until completely melted and creamy.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Quick release the pressure immediately after the 3-minute cook time to prevent the pasta from becoming overcooked.
