Notes
We recommend a multi-pressure cooker with a browning fry and multi-cook mode like CUCKOO's 5-Quart Premium Multi-Pressure Cooker (CMC-QSB501S) that ensures the cheese, noodles, and butter turn into gooey deliciousness.
I wanted to believe… I was a bit suspicious about the time for the pasta and indeed even cancellation 5 minutes early left it overcooked. That’s before adding the sauce. Now that’s a whole other issue. I kick myself every time I am lazy and attempt a sauce constructed like this as it is always an oily lumpy mess. As was this time. Would have been better to just to make a roux in the pot and proceed from there. Since the noodles were already overdone this didn’t help with the sauce. But, a copious amount of combined breadcrumbs and fried onions along with letting it stand a little at least made it dinner (and a bit of heartburn). I will try this again, with modifications for sure.
