  2. Add the penne, broth and water inside the Instant Pot.
  3. Lock the lid in place and seal the steam nozzle.
  4. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes.
  5. Quick release the pressure.
  6. Drain the pasta and return to the pot.
  7. Add the Alfredo sauce, ham, cheeses, salt and pepper.
  8. Place the Instant Pot on saute and stir until the cheese is completely melted.
