Instant Pot Spaghetti & Frozen Meatballs. Let me introduce to you, one of the best, most delicious, fast prep weeknight dinners for families. I am talking about instant pot spaghetti with frozen meatballs.
Peel and slice an onion and sauté in the instant pot with extra virgin olive oil.
Cancel sauté and add the frozen meatballs.
Half your spaghetti and spread over the frozen meatballs making sure the meatballs are well covered in the spaghetti.
In a mixing bowl add tinned tomatoes, tomato sauce and mix in the seasonings.
Pour the mixture over the spaghetti and spread out with a spoon.
Then pour over your water to make sure everything is well covered. Then place the lid on the instant pot, set the valve to sealing and cook for 3 minutes on manual or pressure cook. Then do a 5 minute natural pressure release, before releasing the rest of the pressure.
When you open the lid, it will be like soup, give it a good stir with tongs and it will naturally thicken as you stir and then serve.
Notes
Layers. Its important that you follow the layers instructions above and don’t stir before pressure cooking. Otherwise the meatballs and spaghetti will stick and it wont go to pressure.Swaps. Did you know a true Italian doesn’t do spaghetti and meatballs? Instead, they do other pasta with meatballs because it sticks to the pasta better. You can also swap spaghetti for any other pasta.Thanks for reading our instant pot spaghetti with frozen meatballs recipe on Recipe This.
