Ingredients

– 1 pound spaghetti
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
– 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
– 1 cup beef or vegetable broth

Instructions

Creating Instant Pot Spaghetti is easy with these simple steps:

1. Sauté Vegetables and Meat: Turn on the Instant Pot and select the sauté function. Add olive oil, followed by diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
2. Add Ground Beef: Add ground beef (or turkey) to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
3. Combine Ingredients: Stir in crushed tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.
4. Add Spaghetti: Break the spaghetti in half and gently push it into the sauce. Ensure it’s submerged.
5. Pressure Cook: Close the lid and set the vent to sealing. Select the manual or pressure cook setting and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
6. Natural Release: Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
7. Stir and Serve: Carefully open the lid, stir the spaghetti, and check the consistency. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese.

Follow these steps to create a dish that your family will crave! The combination of savory beef, aromatic spices, and perfectly cooked pasta creates a delightful meal that everyone will love.
