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.
