Add the macaroni to the Instant Pot and stir well. Ensure that the macaroni is submerged under the broth.

Place the lid on your Instant Pot and set the valve to "sealing."

Once the cook time is complete, carefully switch the valve to "venting" and do a full manual pressure release. When the pin drops, indicating it is safe to open your Instant Pot, carefully remove the lid.
