Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 12 oz. spaghetti noodles
  • 24 ounces spaghetti sauce
  • 3 cups water
  • 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons shaved parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • In a 6 quart or larger instant pot, turn on the saute function.
  • Add olive oil to the instant pot liner
  • When the pot is hot, add ground beef, and season with salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  • Brown ground beef thoroughly until cooked through.
  • When cooking is complete, hit cancel on your Instant pot to turn off the saute function.
  • Next, add the spaghetti noodles by breaking them in half, and layering them over the meat in a criss cross pattern. This will help to avoid clumps in the noodles.
  • Now add water, diced tomatoes with liquid, and marinara sauce.
  • Use a wooden spoon to gently press down on the noodles to make sure they are all covered by the liquids.
  • Cover the pot with the lid, and lock into place, set the valve to sealing.
  • Pressure cook on high for 8 minutes.
  • When cooking is complete, quick release the pressure and remove the lid.
  • Stir the spaghetti, making sure none of the noodles are clumped.
  • Let it rest 5 minutes, it will thicken as it cools.
  • Serve garnished with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley!
