- 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.
