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.
But, as a single mom to three kids, I need quick dinner options, because this mom is always busy doing something.
I don’t have time to spend extra time in the kitchen and cooking ground beef in this thing is great!
Mouth-Watering Pressure Cooker Spaghetti
Certainly, you’re 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.
Also, 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. For instance. We love hamburger in ours, but you are welcome to switch things up, it will still turn out to be one savory dish.
And, 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. This means you can pick out whatever brand you generally buy.
How do you cook spaghetti in the instant pot?
Simply turn your Instant Pot to saute add olive oil and toss in your onions and garlic. You can sub in garlic powder or onion powder. Even add some Italian seasonings. And, cook until you can begin to smell the aroma, and then toss in the ground beef, salt and basil, and parsley. Brown the meat completely, until it is no longer pink.
Make sure 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, diced tomato or crushed tomatoes, and marinara sauce on top of the noodles. Cook on high pressure and then it’s all done you will quick release.
This instant pot spaghetti recipe leaves you with the most perfect al dente noodles you will ever try.
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’m a huge fan of making spaghetti in the pressure cooker, and will never look back at my old ways.

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!
Joyce says
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.
Beverly Eide says
The instructions don’t say so but you need to add the oil BEFORE the onion and garlic
Jamela Porter says
There is no need for oil.
Rick says
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!
Dian says
I am a beginner. I made this tonight and it turned out perfect!! Thanks so much for posting and the easy directions!
Jamela Porter says
So glad I could help
Rick says
I followed this recipe and used a 16oz
box of rotini instead of spaghetti noodles. It was delicious!
Rick says
I made this recipe and used a 16oz. box of rotini pasta instead of the spaghetti pasta. The rotini really soaked up the sauce and the meal was delicious. Thank you for a great recipe!
Heather says
My angel hair noodles clumped together. How do I prevent that?
Jamela Porter says
I’m not sure, I use spaghetti noodles.
Elizabeth says
How would you adjust to double the recipe? I’m assuming the cooking time stays the same but not sure how to adjust the liquid. Thanks in advance!
