Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 Onion diced
- 1/2 tsp Minced Garlic
- 1 cup Water
- 6 oz Spaghetti uncooked
- 14 oz Crushed Tomatoes
- 2 cup Marinara Sauce or pasta sauce
- 3/4 cup Beef Broth
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 1 tsp Basil
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
- 1 tbsp Parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Use saute setting on Instant Pot to cook beef onion and garlic until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Break the spaghetti into thirds and place on top of ground beef.
- Put the crushed tomatoes and marinara sauce on top of the spaghetti layer.
- Pour the beef broth around the edge of the instant pot,
- avoid washing away the tomato layer.
- Season with oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper.
- Cook for 8 minutes on high pressure.
- Quick release the pressure, remove the lid and allow to sit for 10-12 minutes to complete cooking.
- Stir to mix and garnish with parsley.
Notes
- After browning the ground beef make sure you give the bottom of the pot a good scrape with a wooden spatula- make sure nothing's sticking to the bottom to prevent burning or scorching your onions!
- After adding the broth, Tip the Instant Pot around to let the broth settle closer to the bottom.
- If you have any noodles that have "clumped together", usually stirring with a pasta fork will solve that problem.
