Instructions

Add 2 pounds frozen cooked meatballs to the bottom of the Instant Pot, and put 1 pound penne pasta on top, spreading into an even layer. Pour 3 cups water over the pasta and meatballs.
Add 1 (24-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon dried minced onion, 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper and gently stir with a spoon. Smooth the sauce to completely cover the noodles.
Cook on High Pressure (Manual) for 5 minutes. When the timer beeps, do a controlled quick release until the pressure has released. Stir and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before topping with freshly grated parmesan cheese and serving.

Notes

To substitute uncooked homemade meatballs, brown them in the bottom of the instant pot first, on the sauté setting. You don't need to cook them all the way through. Then make the recipe as directed.
