Lock the lid in place, select High Pressure and 4 minutes cook time. <\/li><li id=\"mv_create_157_2\">When the cook time ends, allow the pressure to release naturally for 1 minute, then use a quick pressure release. If foam starts to come out the valve, close it and wait 1 minute more before using another quick release. Repeat as needed until the pressure is fully released and the float valve has dropped. <\/li><li id=\"mv_create_157_3\">Carefully remove lid. Stir cream cheese in to hot pasta until melted. Stir in evaporated milk. Select saute and simmer until sauce is smooth and pasta is tender, 1 to 3 minutes. Add additional milk, if necessary, for a smooth and creamy sauce. (Remember, the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. You want to take it off the heat when it's just slightly thinner than you'd like.<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_157_4\">Turn off pressure cooker, stir in lemon juice, lemon zest and parsley.
