To make this recipe, start by tearing the whole grain bread slice in half and pulse it in a food processor to make breadcrumbs. Place in a small bowl and set aside.

Switch to the shredding attachment on the food processor and shred the Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar Cheese and set aside. If you prefer, you can shred the cheese by hand.

Place the whole wheat elbow macaroni pasta, enriched elbow macaroni pasta, water, one tablespoon Cabot Salted Butter, nutmeg and salt in the Instant Pot and give it a stir. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set the lever to “sealing”. Set on “Manual” for four minutes.

Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon Cabot Salted Butter in a skillet over medium heat while the Instant Pot is going. Then add bread crumbs, stirring frequently until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Turn the Instant Pot off when the four minutes of cook time are up and release the pressure by carefully moving the lever to “venting”, always keeping hands and face away from the steam as it’s releasing. When all of the pressure is released, and the silver float valve has dropped, carefully remove the lid.

Stir in the shredded Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar Cheese and 2% milk, stirring vigorously until fully incorporated and the cheese is completely melted. Allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Evenly divide the macaroni and cheese into bowls and sprinkle with the bread crumb topping and, if desired, fresh parsley.
