Instructions
- Prep Instant Pot: Turn your Instant Pot to the sauté setting. (See your manufacturer’s guide for detailed instructions on how to use your instant pot.)
- Cook The Beef: Add the ground beef, onion and garlic to the Instant Pot and break up the beef with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and stir. Cook for 2 more minutes until the onion begins to soften.
- Add Ingredients: Add the marinara sauce, pasta and beef broth to the IP. Stir well, scraping the bottom to remove any stuck bits. Close the lid. Seal the valve and set the Instant Pot to Manual/High Pressure for 4 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Once the Instant Pot cycle is complete, allow for natural pressure release for 10 minutes, after which you can carefully release the pressure. Open the lid and stir well.
- Top with Cheese: Stir in the ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese then top with mozzarella cheese. Close the lid for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
- Garnish and Serve. Garnish with basil and serve.

Notes
- Use quality ingredients. Italian dishes are all about very simple, but high-quality ingredients. So choosing a nice marinara and cheeses will make a difference.
- Brown the meat well. You want to cook the ground beef before adding the other ingredients. The brown bits it creates on the bottom of the pot are full of flavor.
- Check your manual. For the best results, check your manufacturer’s guide for recommendations on how to use your Instant Pot before starting any IP recipe.
