Turn the Instant Pot on “Sauté” and wait for it to heat up. Add the oil, beef, onion, and garlic, and cook until the beef is browned, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Press “Cancel” to turn off the Instant Pot.Important: Do not stir from this point forward.
Break the spaghetti noodles in half and place them on top of the browned meat mixture.
Spread the diced tomatoes evenly on top.
Sprinkle on the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper
Add the spaghetti sauce and water.
Put the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to “Sealing”. Cook on “Manual, High Pressure” for 8 minutes. Once it’s finished, carefully release the valve.
Stir the pasta for about 2 minutes and it will absorb any liquid in the pot.
Serve the pasta topped with grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
Notes
We like to use lean ground beef, but you can use ground turkey or regular ground beef as well.
This spaghetti can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
