How to Make Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs
1. Sauté the Aromatics
Add olive oil to the bottom of the Instant Pot.
Turn on the sauté function.
Sauté the chopped onion until softened.
2. Cook the Meat
Stir in the ground beef, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, minced garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
Sauté until the meat is cooked through.
Drain excess fat and scrape the meat mixture out of the pot.
Set the meat aside for later.
3. Layer the Pasta
Turn the sauté function off.
Pour half of the water (1.5 cups) into the Instant Pot.
Break the spaghetti noodles in half.
Layer the pasta in an “X” pattern in the bottom of the pot to help prevent sticking.
4. Add Sauce and Tomatoes
Cover the noodles with the pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, and remaining water (1.5 cups).
Make sure the noodles are fully submerged in liquid.
5. Pressure Cook
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to Sealing.
Cook on Manual High Pressure for 5 minutes.
6. Release Pressure
Allow a natural release for 5 minutes.
Carefully turn the valve to Venting to release any remaining pressure.
7. Finish and Serve
Open the lid and return the cooked meat mixture to the Instant Pot.
Stir well to combine everything.
Serve hot and enjoy!
