Provided by Sandy Clifton

Categories     Dinner

Time 29m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb Meatballs, (raw, cooked, or frozen)
12 oz Spaghetti Noodles
1 (14 oz) can Diced Tomatoes (optional), (drained)
1 (24 oz) jar Spaghetti Sauce ((or marinara sauce plus Italian seasoning))

Grated Parmesan Cheese
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Parsley or Basil

Steps:

  • Put meatballs in the bottom of the inner liner pot.
  • Break the spaghetti in half and sprinkle over meatballs in a random pattern, so not too many are side by side. This helps prevent them sticking together.
  • Pour the water/broth over the noodles.
  • Pour the diced tomatoes, if using over the noodles, and then the spaghetti sauce over the noodles, and cover as much of them as you can with the sauce. This helps them all get cooked.
  • Put on the lid and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
  • Press the Pressure Cook (Manual) button or dial and then the +/- button or dial to select 9 minutes (7 minutes for al dente). High pressure.
  • The pot will take several minutes to come to pressure. Cook time begins when pot is at pressure.
  • After cook time has finished, turn off the pot and turn the steam release knob to the Venting position, and do a Quick Release of the steam so the pasta doesn't overcook.Watch it closely, and if sauce starts to spew out with the steam, close the vent and release the steam in bursts until it looks like no more sauce will be spewing out.
  • After the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid and give the spaghetti a stir. If any noodles stuck together, just use a fork to separate them.
  • Serve with some bread, and garnish with parmesan cheese, mozzarella, or whatever you like!

You'll be amazed at how quickly this spaghetti with sausage meatballs comes together, thanks to the Instant Pot!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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.

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.
