INSTANT POT® SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS FLORENTINE
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.

Steps:
- In large bowl, mix turkey, bread crumbs, onion, egg, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Shape mixture into 12 (2-inch) meatballs.
- On 6-quart Instant Pot®, select SAUTE; adjust to normal. Heat oil in insert until very hot. Add meatballs; cook 4 to 5 minutes without moving, until meatballs release easily from bottom of insert. Turn; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until browned on second side. Turn one more time; cook 2 to 3 minutes on third side, until browned. Select CANCEL. Using slotted spoon or tongs, transfer meatballs to plate.
- Stir broth and whipping cream into meatball drippings in insert. Stir mixture to loosen browned bits from bottom of insert. Stir in spaghetti; coat in sauce mixture.
- Place meatballs evenly over spaghetti mixture. Secure lid; set pressure valve to SEALING. Select MANUAL; cook on high pressure 8 minutes. Select CANCEL. Set pressure valve to VENTING to quick-release pressure.
- Gently stir cream cheese and Parmesan cheese into mixture 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and spaghetti is completely separated. Spaghetti will appear to be stuck together but will separate while stirring. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, the spinach and lemon juice until spinach wilts. Top with additional Parmesan cheese.
