4. Add remaining ingredients, except bread crumbs and butter, to the pot.
5. Stir well to melt cheese and ensure all ingredients are combined.
6. In a bowl, stir together the bread crumbs and melted butter. Cover pasta evenly with the mixture.
7. Close the crisping lid. Select AIR CRISP, set the temperature to 360°F, and set the time to 7 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin.
8. When cooking is complete, serve immediately.
