One of the best parts of an IP I can set it and walk away, it helps with my day also of being able to combine flavors and eat much healthier.One of my favorites is to make a pasta dish all in one pot and very easy clean up.Ingredients▢1 Pound Lean Ground Beef, OR ITALIAN SAUSAGE▢½ Teaspoon EACH Salt, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Italian Seasoning, OR MORE TO TASTE▢1 Pound Spaghetti Noodles▢1 (24 Ounce) Jar Spaghetti Sauce▢36 Ounces Water, 1 ½ Jars▢1 (14.5 Ounce) Can Diced Tomatoes, OR TOMATO SAUCEInstructionsSet the Instant Pot to saute' and add the ground beef. Add the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasonings. Cook the meat and seasonings, breaking the meat up until it's completely browned. Turn the Instant Pot off. Drain any excess grease from meat if necessary.Break the spaghetti in half and place on top of meat in the Instant Pot. Pour over the spaghetti sauce, diced tomato, and water. Push the spaghetti down with a spoon if necessary to make sure it is completely covered in liquid. Seal the instant pot and set it to manual mode, high pressure, 8 minutes cooking time. When the time is up, use manual quick release to open the Instant Pot. Stir the spaghetti well. Serve immediately.NOTE: This spaghetti may appear to be a little liquidy right after cooking. Be sure to stir well to incorporate all of the liquid into the noodles before serving.NOTE: Some people have had an issue with their noodles "clumping" together. Try crisscrossing the noodles when you add them to the instant pot, instead of adding them in one big chunk. Some clumping is normal, simply use a fork to pull any noodles apart that have stuck together. NOTE: This spaghetti will have as much flavor as you put into it! Make sure that you add extra seasoning to taste and also use a flavorful spaghetti sauce.Nutrition
