Instant Pot Spaghetti

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil or Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp. Seasoning of Choice (We like Tony Chachere's and Nature's Seasoning Blend)
  • 1 Cup Diced Onions and Bell Peppers
  • 2 LB. Ground Turkey, Beef, or Frozen Pre-Cooked Meatballs
  • 1 -24 oz. Jar Spaghetti Sauce (We like Ragu Roasted Garlic)
  • 1 & 1/4 -24 oz. Jar Water (Use empty Spaghetti Jar)
  • 3/4 Box -16 oz. Spaghetti Noodles
  • 1 Tub Knorr Chicken Stock

Instructions
 

  • First, put Instant Pot on saute mode (high) and add 3 tablespoons of vegetable or olive oil.
  • Next, add ground turkey or beef, seasoning of choice, and seasoning blend (optional) and saute until there is no pink left in the meat. If you are using the pre-cooked bag of meatballs you can skip this step and add them in with your spaghetti sauce on step #3.
  • Then add Knorr chicken stock, spaghetti sauce, and water. Stir all together well.
  • Break your spaghetti noodles in three sections and crisscross them on top of the meat. Pat noodles down with a spatula so that they are all submerged in liquid. Do not stir. **Please note - If you place noodles on top of meat just as they come out of the package and not in a messy crisscross fashion they will get stuck together and will not cook correctly. 
  • Next, close the lid and turn the steam release valve to “sealing” position.
  • Then press “Pressure Cook” button. Next, press “Pressure Level” button until “High Pressure” is selected. **Please note- If your Instant Pot is still on saute mode you will need to press "Cancel" then "Pressure Cook".
  • Turn the timer on for 10 minutes. Once pressure builds up, the timer will start counting down. (Meanwhile, you can place some garlic bread in the oven to start warming up.)
  • After the timer has completed turn the steam release valve to “Venting” for a quick release of steam. **Warning – steam being released is very hot, use a towel to turn release valve so it does not burn you.
  • Finally, after steam has all been released just stir and serve. **Please Note - The longer you let it stand the thicker your sauce will get.
