Super easy and super fast classic spaghetti with meat sauce. A great way to use your Instant Pot and clean up is a breeze! It may just become a family favorite! There are many tutorials on spaghetti recipes online, but the main difference is what sauce to use. Spaghetti is popular with many people, not only because of its taste but also because it is easy to make, you can make several kinds of spaghetti, of course, each kind of taste is worth sharing, So let's take a look at these spaghetti recipes and hope you enjoy them!

Ingredients

Shredded or grated parmesan cheese, for serving
2 2/3 cups warm water
1 (14.5 oz.) can petite diced tomatoes
1 (24 oz.) jar four cheese marinara sauce, such as Classico
3 sprigs fresh basil, plus more for serving
12 oz. dry spaghetti noodles
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced (2 tsp)
1 lb. 92% - 96% lean ground beef
1 tsp. olive oil

Method

01

Set instant pot to "saute". Once it reads "hot" add 1 tsp olive oil then break beef into large chunks and add to the instant pot along with garlic and a few pinches of salt.
02

Let beef brown, stirring and breaking up beef occasionally, until cooked through about 6 minutes. Press the "cancel" button to turn the instant pot off.
03

Break spaghetti noodles in half. Add about 1/6 into an even layer over beef, then add another 1/6 going the opposite direction into an even layer. Repeat this pattern with remaining noodles four times (this doesn't need to be perfect! It's just to reduce sticking).
04

Add in marinara sauce, basil, tomatoes and water and season lightly with salt and pepper (don't stir).
05

Seal the lid of the Instant Pot, making sure the valve is set to "sealing." Press the "manual mode" button (or high pressure on other pressure cookers) and set it to 7 minutes.
06

Once the time is up, use the quick-release method according to manufacturers' instructions (basically just stand back and flick the valve). Once sputtering stops open lid, remove basil and toss spaghetti with a fork.
07

Let the rest two minutes (this will allow some of that extra liquid to soak in and the noodles to cook through). Serve warm with parmesan and basil leaves or chopped basil ribbons.
