Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups lentil pasta

  • 1 pouch Daiya Cheddar Style Deluxe Cheeze Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Dump lentil pasta, frozen cauliflower and water into Instant Pot.
  • Seal Instant Pot and set to 3 minutes on high pressure. It should take approximately 10 minutes to pressurize before cooking actually begins.
  • After cooking has ended, allow to de-pressurize naturally for about 10 minutes. Then vent manually.
  • Remove lid and stir in Daiya Cheddar Style Deluxe Cheeze Sauce.

Notes

For this recipe I used Bentilia Green Lentil Elbow Pasta that I bought in bulk on Amazon. Each brand of lentil pasta cooks a little differently. If you use a different brand, you may need to experiment a bit on the amount of water to use and the cook times.
