Instructions

Soak the Italian bread in the ¼ cup of water for 3 minutes. After soaking, break the bread into small pieces.
Beat the egg in a large bowl. Add in the bread crumbs, soaked Italian bread pieces, chopped onion, parmesan cheese, 2 tbsp. water, olive oil, parsley, garlic, black pepper, red pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir well.
Mix in the ground beef and ground pork. You can use your hands, a mixer or a hand potato masher .
Shape meat into balls, about the size of a golf ball.
Add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil to your Instant pot. Set to saute and brown the meatballs on each side. You will need to work in batches to avoid smushing the meatballs.
Take all the meatballs out of the Instant Pot and wipe grease out of the bottom of the pot.
Pour 1/3 of the jar of spaghetti sauce into the pot. Lay meatballs on top of sauce.
Break the spaghetti noodles in half. Lay them on top of the meatballs in different directions. This helps to prevent sticking.
Pour remaining spaghetti sauce over top of noodles.
Fill the sauce jar with the 2 cups of water. Shake to mix in any sauce that is left in jar. Add this water to the top of noodles.
Seal Instant Pot on Manual, high pressure for 7 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for it to reach pressure.
When it is done cooking do a manual fast release. Remove lid, stir carefully to avoid breaking up meatballs and ready to serve.
