Method
In an Instant Pot, combine the macaroni, 4 cups water, and salt. Secure the lid, close the vent valve, and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Manually release the steam to prevent the noodles from overcooking. A very small amount of water should remain in the pot; drain if needed.
Add the cream, Parmesan, and cheddar. Stir to combine until the cheese is melted. Add pepper, peas and sriracha if using. To serve, scoop into individual bowls.
