Instant Pot Spaghetti

This pressure cooker spaghetti really brings the dish together and the noodles are flavorful, the meat sauce is perfect, and I bet even an Italian would gobble this right up without hesitation.

Mouth Watering Pressure Cooker Spaghetti
You are welcome to use any type of spaghetti noodles you like, whether they are veggie, whole wheat, or the classic kind. Each brand and style have turned out great in this recipe.
You can also substitute the ground beef for ground turkey or even pork if you want.
It is totally about the preference of flavor of what you have on hand. We love hamburger in ours, but you are welcome to switch things up, it will still turn out to be one savory dish.
Lastly, as for spaghetti sauce, use whatever brand you like, or if you would prefer homemade Mom’s Sunday Sauce is a great recipe for the Instant Pot. I like to tell people to buy the sauce they prefer.
I know in our home we have two or three kinds and those are what we stick with. Every time I venture out I normally go back to wanting my old spaghetti sauce.
So pick out whatever brand you generally buy.
How do you cook spaghetti in the instant pot?
Simply turn your Instant Pot to saute and toss in your onions and garlic. Cook until you can begin to smell the aroma, and then toss in the ground beef, salt and basil and parsley.
Cook it until it is no longer pink.
Then you want to drain out any grease, if you buy lean you can skip this step, but this helps it from becoming too greasy with less lean meats. Next toss in your broth, tomatoes, and sauce and noodles.
Make sure your noodles are covered in liquid or they will not cook properly.
Then set your Instant Pot and let it cook away.
Perfectly easy to make and quick. Two things I love and the flavor of this spaghetti is absolutely delicious. I am a huge fan of making spaghetti in the pressure cooker, and will never look back at my old ways.
I hope you all enjoy this recipe if you give it a try!

So easy and so good! Thanks for this recipe. It’s going to be my go-to from now on. The only thing I changed was using Italian seasoning in place of the basil and parsley since I think both are in Italian seasoning plus we like oregano. Outstanding!
Used White Chop Turkey instead of beef, and only used 1/2 box of spaghetti and decreased the broth. I big hit, very easy and flavorful.
The instructions don’t say so but you need to add the oil BEFORE the onion and garlic
There is no need for oil.

I just made this spaghetti with meat sauce recipe and it tasted delicious! I like that you use the entire box of spaghetti. Many recipes only use half a box. I added two tablespoons of cream cheese to thicken up the sauce and it was perfect. I will definitely make it again!
