Categories     Pasta

Time 21m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup hot sauce of your choice
1 teaspoon Cajun/Creole/Louisiana Seasoning (I use Tony Chachere's)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (and you can add more to taste)
5.2 ounce package of Boursin cheese (any flavor) or 4 ounces (1/2 of a brick) of cream cheese
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) salted butter
2 shallots or 1 yellow or sweet (Vidalia) onion, diced
1 tablespoon (3 cloves) garlic, crushed or minced
1 - 1 1/2 pounds of meatballs about the size of ping-pong balls - any of your choice (either frozen or raw. Feel free to make mine here and follow Steps 1 & 2 and make them the size of ping-pong balls. Don't want meatballs? Leave 'em out!)
3 cups broth of your choice (I used 3 teaspoons Garlic Better Than Bouillon + 3 cups water)
3 cups marinara sauce, divided (use your favorite - I like Victoria which many Costcos and markets carry. The better brand of sauce used, the better the final product)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 lb (1 box) of spaghetti
10 ounces grape/cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Add the oil and butter to the Instant Pot, hit Sauté and Adjust so it's on the More or High setting. Once melted, add in the shallots and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes
  • Add in the meatballs (frozen or raw) followed by the broth, 1 1/2 cups of the marinara sauce, oregano and the spicy ingredients (if using - if not, simply leave them out). Stir well.
  • In batches, break the spaghetti in half and place in the pot (I know it's a sin for some to break spaghetti, but for it to cook properly and fit in the pot, this needs to be done - it'll still feel long, cook perfectly AND it creates more servings!)
  • DO NOT STIR the spaghetti, but smooth it out with a spoon so it's submerged under the broth.
  • Top with the cherry tomatoes, secure the lid, hit Keep Warm/Cancel and then hit Manual or Pressure Cook at High Pressure and set the time for 8 minutes. Quick release when done
  • Give the spaghetti a stir. If it appears to clump together a bit, it will quickly detach once stirred and while the noodles should be perfectly al dente, they will also soften in a few moments of resting. If the sauce appears a bit thin, not to worry as that will all change! Add in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce along with the Parmesan and the Boursin or cream cheese (if using) and give it a final stir and let rest for about 3-5 minutes before serving as the sauce will thicken even more.
  • Place in bowl and serve with additional parmesan cheese if desired.
  • Mamma Mia Mangia!

INSTANT POT SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS



Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs image

A ONE POT meal made in your pressure cooker with homemade meatballs (not frozen!). Still so quick and easy to whip up!

Provided by Chungah Rhee

Categories     entree

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups beef stock
12 ounces spaghetti, broken in half
1 (24-ounce) jar tomato basil pasta sauce
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 pound Italian sausage, casing removed
1/2 cup Panko
3 tablespoons whole milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, sausage, Panko, milk, egg, Italian seasoning and garlic; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1-to-1-1/2-inch meatballs, forming about 24 meatballs. Set a 6-qt Instant Pot® to the high saute setting. Heat olive oil; working in batches, add meatballs, and cook until all sides are browned, about 4-5 minutes. Return all meatballs to the Instant Pot®. Stir in beef stock, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add spaghetti; stir in pasta sauce until evenly coated. Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 8 minutes. When finished cooking, quick-release pressure according to manufacturer's directions. Gently stir mixture until spaghetti is completely separated, about 1 minute. Let stand 5 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with basil and Parmesan, if desired.

PRESSURE COOKER SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS



Pressure Cooker Spaghetti and Meatballs image

Spaghetti and meatballs isn't necessarily any faster when made in an electric pressure cooker, but it does take away a lot of hands-on work. And it can all be done in one pot instead of the usual two to three it would take on the stove. Here, the meatballs, which are not fried but cooked entirely in the sauce, are gently spiced and very tender - the height of kid-friendly cuisine. The ricotta topping is optional, but it makes the whole thing especially creamy and rich. If you have some homemade marinara sauce in the freezer, or a favorite store-bought kind, you can substitute 3 1/4 cups of it here. Olive fans take note: Adding 1/4 cup sliced pitted olives to the sauce will probably make you very happy come dinnertime.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 basil sprigs, plus more thinly sliced for serving
8 ounces spaghetti (not thin spaghetti), broken in half
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1 cup ricotta (optional)
1 pound ground beef (or substitute veal, pork or turkey)
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped basil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 to 2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced

Steps:

  • Set pressure cooker to the sauté function, and heat 2 tablespoons oil in the pot. Stir in garlic, red pepper and black pepper, and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Stir in tomatoes, salt and basil sprigs; cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes (lower the sauté function to low or briefly turn the machine off if the sauce splatters too much).
  • Meanwhile, make the meatballs: In a large bowl, mix together beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan, chopped basil, egg, salt and garlic. Roll into 1 1/4-inch balls.
  • Pour 1 cup water into sauce in pot, scraping up any browned bits on bottom of pot (if you don't do this, the burn light may turn on). Scatter uncooked spaghetti over the sauce. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon oil over spaghetti, stirring gently (try to keep the spaghetti on top of the sauce), then top with meatballs.
  • Cover and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Manually release the pressure, then remove the cover and stir to separate the spaghetti. Stir in 2 tablespoons Parmesan. At this point, the pasta will be almost but not quite cooked through. Place the top back on the pressure cooker (loosely) and let it sit for 3 to 10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and spaghetti is al dente but not mushy.
  • Serve dolloped with ricotta, if using, and sprinkled with thinly sliced basil and more Parmesan if you like.

INSTANT POT® SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS FLORENTINE



Instant Pot® Spaghetti and Meatballs Florentine image

There's a lot your Instant Pot® can do to make family dinner easier, but one of its best tricks is making this homemade spin on spaghetti and meatballs into a truly delicious one-pot meal. Part of the magic comes from combining the sauté and pressure-cooking functions. Herbed turkey meatballs get seared and the insert gets deglazed, so the browned bits left behind by the meatballs infuse the entire dish with savory flavor. Then, meatballs, pasta and sauce ingredients are put under pressure, which turns three steps into one: making the cheesy sauce, finishing the meatballs and cooking the pasta. After a short time under pressure, all that's left to do is stir in fresh spinach until it's silky. A final dusting of Parmesan and pepper, plus a squeeze of lemon will make this dish truly perfect.

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound mild Italian sausage, casing removed
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
8 ounces spaghetti, broken in half
One 28-ounce can tomato puree, preferably San Marzano
2 sprigs basil
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about .75 ounce), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Roll the sausage into 16 balls (each about 1 ounce and 1 inch in diameter). Set a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot® to high saute (see Cook's Note). Add the olive oil to the pot; once it's shimmering, add the meatballs and cook until lightly browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Flip the meatballs and add the garlic. Cook until meatballs are lightly browned on the other side and the garlic is tender, 1 to 2 minutes more. Lay the spaghetti on top of the meatballs, then add the tomato puree, 2 cups of water, basil, red pepper flakes and 2 teaspoons salt. Stir gently, making sure all the spaghetti is submerged in the sauce.
  • Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 6 minutes. After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete (this should take about 2 minutes). Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid, then stir in the Parmesan. Serve with another sprinkle of grated Parmesan on top. The pasta sauce will thicken as it sits and cools.
