Ingredients

  • ½ pound Ground Beef
  • ½ pound Ground Italian sausage
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 16 ounces Spaghetti
  • 8 ounces Water
  • 32 ounces Rao’s marinara or your favorite brand

Instructions

  • Set Instant Pot to SAUTE and add ground beef and Italian sausage. Top with the garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Brown the meat until it is cooked through.
  • Remove excess grease from the pot by pouring the meat into a strainer. Add meat back to the pot.
  • Break the spaghetti pasta in half and add to the pot laying them on top of the cooked meat. Make sure to fan the noodles out so they have less chance of clumping up as they cook.
  • Pour the water over the spaghetti followed by the pasta sauce. DO NOT STIR. Make sure the pasta is completely covered by sauce. You can press down on any that is not covered by sauce.
  • Lock the lid in place and turn the valve to SEALING.
  • Set to HIGH pressure for 8 minutes.
  • When the timer goes off carefully do a quick release letting out the remaining pressure.
  • When the pin drops remove the lid and stir the pasta. If you find any clumps of pasta stuck together use a fork to gently comb them apart.
  • Stir meat, sauce, and pasta together and then set the lid on top and let sit for 5 minutes more then serve.
