Instructions

  1. Remove meatballs from packaging and add directly to Instant Pot pan, in an unplugged instant pot, while frozen.
  2. Remove 1/2 spaghetti from a box and hold to snap in half.
  3. Layer spaghetti over frozen meatballs in Instant Pot.
  4. Dump sauce over spaghetti in Instant Pot. Do not stir.
  5. If using any herbs, season when adding sauce.
  6. Pour in stock and water.
  7. Do not stir.
  8. Close Instant Pot lid, set to high pressure for nine minutes.
  9. Let the Instant Pot cook at pressure for 9 minutes until the timer goes off. Note: this is tested in Denver, CO. Reduce down to 6 minutes according to your preference and altitude (if too soft, reduce time to 7 minutes and troubleshoot from there, but most people like this cooked at 9 minutes.)
  10. Quick release when food is done, maintain a safe distance to prevent steam burns.
  11. Stir well to toss spaghetti and meatballs in sauce.
  12. Remove from Instant Pot quickly to prevent overcooking, and serve!
  13. Optional: top with fresh grated parmesan cheese, and a bit of fresh parsley or basil.

Notes

  • *can be turkey, beef, pork, chicken, vegan, large or small - just needs to be FROZEN and PRE-COOKED
