I couldn't find a cookbook for this around here but all you have to do
is Google something like:
Pressure cooker lasagna
Pressure cooker mac and cheese
I'll give you a link. As you read through you'll see they say
'Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker' The important thing about these
recipes is to get the hang of the cooking times for a combo dish that
uses pasta

If you have a pressure cooker I am sure you already know how to do
meats, stews, soups, fruits and vegetables. I know there are recipes
out there for cakes and similar.
