Instant Pot Spaghetti: Dinner in 15 Minutes!
Enjoy this quick instant pot spaghetti with ground beef and savory pasta sauce, ready in just 15 minutes for a delicious weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef (I use 85/15)
- 1/2 teaspoon each garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 (24 ounce) jar pasta sauce
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon (I use the chicken base)
- 8 ounces spaghetti, broken in half
- 4 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Turn the sauté function on in the Instant Pot. Add olive oil, ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, minced garlic (if using), and kosher salt. Sauté until the meat is browned and cooked through.
- Add the jar of pasta sauce, water, chicken bouillon, and broken spaghetti. Ensure the spaghetti is mostly submerged under the liquid.
- Secure the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
- Once cooking is complete, carefully perform a quick release of the pressure. Lay a towel over the vent to manage splatters. This prevents the noodles from overcooking.
Notes
- Use a good quality pasta sauce for the best flavor.
- Ensure spaghetti is mostly submerged to cook evenly.
- Perform a quick release immediately to prevent overcooking. Allergens: Wheat. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
