Instructions
- Turn on Instant Pot and select "SAUTE." Add 1 tbsp olive oil and garlic to Instant Pot and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Select "CANCEL." Add frozen meatballs in a single layer to the bottom of the Instant Pot. I actually added a couple extra on top of the single layer and it turned out great.
- Add thin spaghetti noodles (that are broken in half so they fit) on top of the meatballs. Drizzle with extra olive oil (about 2 Tbsp) to prevent sticking.
- Pour one jar of marinara sauce over the top of the noodles, then add water. Finally, sprinkle in extra seasoning...salt, Italian Seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
- Lock lid in place, turn knob to "SEALING", select HIGH PRESSURE and cook time of 9 minutes. When cook time ends, do a quick pressure release.
- Stir gently to combine sauce with noodles and meatballs. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. ENJOY

Notes
- Homemade Meatballs or store bought frozen meatballs both work great! I prefer having them frozen so they don't fall apart.
- I've used several kinds of pasta in this recipe, and they all turn out wonderful. Don't skip the extra olive oil.
- Choosing a flavorful marinara sauce is a must. We love Rao's Marinara as it's sugar free yet packed with flavor!
- 1 jar of marinara sauce (24oz) is also 3 cups of water...just fill your empty jar with water and dump it in!
- When you open the lid after pressure cooking, it may appear watery. NOW you stir and let it sit for a minute, it will come together nicely.
- Time does not include the amount of time it takes to come to pressure. This recipe was tested in a 6qt Instant Pot.
