¼cuppecorino cheese
½cupmozzarella cheese
1teaspoonred chili flakesfor garnishing
1teaspoontruffle oilfor garnishing
Instructions
In your pressure cooker, dump all the ingredient till butter. If penne is not submerged in the liquid, add a bit more chicken stock as needed. Seal the vent and pressure cook for 8 mins. Allow for natural release.
Once steam has vented, hit Cancel. My Pressure Cooker automatically goes to Warm, which is what we need for the next steps. Add milk and stir well. You can add more milk if needed to loosen the pasta. Add the three cheeses, you can add more or less per your desired taste. Adjust for salt and add the chili flakes
Serve hot with more cheese and a nice drizzle of truffle oil. OOOOF, the truffle oil is heaven!
Notes
Since pressure cookers vary with brand, you may need to adjust the timing a bit. 8 mins should be plenty to cook the pasta but you can add more time if you feel it has a noticeable bite.
Don't be alarmed to see the pasta dry after pressure cooking. You just need to loosen it up with milk, or half and half if you prefer that.
