Steps to make Instant Pot (Electric Pressure Cooker) Delicata Squash Mac & Cheese:

Cook on Manual High for 10 minutes, quick releasing the pressure. Allow the squashes to cool. Remove the skin, cut squashes in half and use a fork to scoop out the seeds. Discard skin & seeds. Put the pulp into a food processor. Add Pumpkin Pie Spice and Curry to pulp and blend until smooth. You may have to add a little water to get a smooth consistency.
  2. Start with clean and dried Instant Pot liner. Add 12 oz box of Penne and enough water to cover pasta (about 3 cups.)

  4. Open lid and scoop off most of the water, leaving maybe 1/2- 3/4 cup in pot with pasta.
  5. Add the garlic powder and onion powder to the milk. Stir and then add the mixture to the pot.
  6. Next add 6 oz of grated cheese and stir until mostly melted.
  7. Add the squash puree and stir.
  8. Put the pot on sauté and stir mixture for 3-5 minutes until hot and mixture is smooth.
