Ingredients

Units Scale
  • :
  • 1 lb spaghetti
  • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey, or sausage)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Grated parmesan for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • :
  • Sauté: Turn on the Instant Pot and select the “Sauté” function. Heat olive oil and add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until soft.
  • Brown the Meat: Add the ground beef and garlic to the pot. Cook, breaking the meat apart, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add the Sauces: Stir in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Add the Pasta: Break the spaghetti in half and add it to the pot, pushing it into the sauce. Do not stir.
  • Pressure Cook: Close the lid and set the valve to “Sealing.” Select the “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” setting and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
  • Release Pressure: Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then carefully turn the valve to “Venting” to release any remaining pressure.
  • Serve: Open the lid, stir the spaghetti, and serve with fresh herbs and grated parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • :
  • If you want extra flavor, try adding red pepper flakes for a slight kick or a splash of red wine to the sauce.
  • You can use gluten-free pasta or a different type of pasta, but cooking times may vary.
  • This recipe can also be made with a combination of ground meats for added flavor.
