Instant Pot Spaghetti + Meatballs
The classic comfort food, all in one pot! The spaghetti, meatballs, and sauce all cook together in the Instant pot for a totally hands-off main dish. It's so flavorful and SO easy, you might never want to make them another way again.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 pounds frozen meatballs
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara
- 3 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes (optional)
- For serving: parmesan
Directions
- Arrange the meatballs in a single layer in the Instant Pot (it's okay if you don't use them all here). Break the noodles in half and scatter them over the meatballs. Slice the butter and place over the noodles. Top with any remaining meatballs. Pour in the sauce and water, and add the crushed red pepper flakes if using. Lock the lid in place and set to high pressure for 8 minutes. Quick release the pressure and remove the lid. Set Instant Pot to saute and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. This is where the noodles finish cooking and the sauce thickens slightly.Serve topped with parmesan.
