Ingredients to Make The Easiest Instant Pot Spaghetti

• Ground Meat
• Spaghetti Noodles
• Spaghetti Sauce
• Water or Broth
• Salt and Pepper
• Heavy Cream (optional)
• Parmesan Cheese and Parsley (optional garnish)

How to Make The Easiest Instant Pot Spaghetti

• Set your instant pot to the sauté setting and add your ground meat. (I love using venison or beef.) Brown your meat until cooked through, adding salt and pepper to season. Then turn off the sauté setting.

• Break your spaghetti noodles in half then place them on top of the meat. I recommend changing the direction of the noddles as you lay them down so they don’t get stuck together.

• Pour your favorite spaghetti sauce jar overtop of the noodles. Then fill the jar with water or bone broth and pour over the sauce. Fill the jar another half and pour in. You want the noodles to be completely covered in the water and sauce.
• Cover your instant pot and set it to high pressure for 12 minutes. When the pot beeps, use a quick release to open the instant pot.

• Pour in the (optional) heavy cream and mix into the spaghetti separating all the noodles and incorporating the meat all the way through.
• Sprinkle with freshly shredded parmesan cheese and parsley.
• Serve and enjoy hot 🙂
