Instant Pot One Pot Spaghetti and Meat Sauce – dig in!

Kids love spaghetti so this a family-friendly recipe. You will love how quickly you can go from prep to the table. In less than 20 minutes, a full spaghetti dinner is ready to serve.

This recipe can be doubled in a 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot. To double, use 2 jars of spaghetti sauce, 1-2 lbs of meat, 1 1/2 jars water, and a full box 16 oz box of pasta.

My Instant Pot is an Instant Pot Duo 9-in-1. This is a 6 quart pressure cooker, and so far it’s been a good size for our family meals, but check out the 8 quart models if you are cooking for a crowd.

My recommendation is the Instant Pot brand. These are well worth the investment. Once you have one, you will use it often.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef or sausage
• 8 oz half box pasta of choice, white, whole wheat, or gluten free all work
• 1 jar spaghetti sauce 24 oz
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 3/4 spaghetti sauce jar of water

Instructions

• Click the "saute" button on Instant Pot and cook ground beef until brown, about 5-8 minutes. It does have have to fully cook through.
• Turn machine off.
• If desired, drain fat. (The more fat your drain, of course the healthier. A little bit of fat keeps pasta from sticking together.)
• Add 1 jar spaghetti sauce.
• Add 3/4 jar full of water.
• Add pasta. Do not mix, but gentle push pasta into liquid and move around a bit to prevent sticking.
• Turn Instant Pot to "Manual" and set for 6 minutes. If using gluten free pasta, cook for 4 minutes.
• When pot beats, quick release and serve.
