Crazy weekend.
Busy Monday.
Hectic week.
Can’t catch up.
Gotta feed them something.
Set it and forget it!
INSTANT POT SPAGHETTI
This is more of a method than a recipe, but it works every time!
Ingredients
- 1-2 pounds ground meat of your choice (optional)
- whatever veggies you have on hand, chopped (optional)
- whatever dried or fresh herbs you want to use
- 1 box dried pasta
- 1 jar prepared spaghetti sauce
Instructions
-
Place your meat, veggies and any dried seasonings in the Instant Pot, select the Sauté function. Cook until meat is browned through and veggies have softened.
-
Turn the pot off.
-
Place the dried pasta on top of the meat and veggies.
-
Pour the jar of pasta sauce onto the CENTER of the dried pasta.
-
Fill the pasta jar with water and pour the water along the outside over the dried pasta. This allows the water to get down into the meat/veggie area and cook the pasta evenly.
-
Close the lid and SEAL THE VENT.
-
Select the Manual function and enter half of the lowest time on the box of pasta plus 2 minutes. So if the pasta box says “Cook 10-12 minutes,” use 5 minutes plus 2 for a total of 7 minutes.
-
When cooking time is up, do a quick release by carefully opening the seal to “venting.” Use a towel as hot steam will be released.
-
If using fresh herbs or spinach, stir these in at the end of cooking.
