1 pound lean ground beef (preferably 93% lean)
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large fennel bulb, trimmed and chopped
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, stemmed, cored, and chopped
8 ounces dried radiatori
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Chardonnay
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Mix the beef, basil, marjoram, and thyme in a medium bowl until the spices are evenly distributed throughout. Form the mixture into twenty 1- inch meatballs.
  • Heat the oil in a 6-quart stovetop pressure cooker set over medium heat or in a 6- quart electric pressure cooker turned to the browning function. Add the fennel, onion, and bell pepper; cook, stirring often, until the onion turns translucent, about 5 minutes.

PRESSURE COOKER HOISIN MEATBALLS



Pressure Cooker Hoisin Meatballs image

I love the start of fall because that means it's football season! Meatballs are filling and hearty and great for a tailgate. I served this for the first time at my favorite team's home opener. My best friend, who hates meatballs, couldn't get enough of them! I created a meatball convert! Woo-hoo! If you are serving children and prefer not to add the wine, substitute beef broth instead.-Lisa de Perio, Dallas, Texas

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.
