Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs PT50M https://img2.recipesrun.com/201907/2019/0820/bb/0/163093/300x200x90.jpg A one-pot meal made in your pressure cooker with homemade meatballs (not frozen!). Still so quick and easy to whip up! There's something so cozy and homey about spaghetti and meatballs. It's just one of those dishes that screams comfort food like mom used to make. Except I almost never make it at home. Mainly because it seems like there are 8 thousand steps involved and another 7 thousand dishes to clean. But not to worry. We now have an Instant Pot version that keeps it to a one-pot wonder. The meatballs get seared right in the Instant Pot, and the uncooked spaghetti noodles will cook right along with everything else. It's genius, I know, as everything just soaks and cooks right in the pasta sauce! 6 servings Ingredients: Freshly ground black pepper Kosher salt 2 cloves Garlic, minced 3/4 tbsp. Italian seasoning 1 Large egg, lightly beaten 3 tbsp. Whole milk 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs 1/2 pound Italian sausage, casing removed 1 pound Lean ground beef 1/4 cup Freshly grated Parmesan 1/3 cup Chopped fresh basil leaves 24 oz.

03 Method

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, sausage, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Italian seasoning and garlic; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1-to-1-1/2-inch meatballs, forming about 24 meatballs.
Step 2

Set a 6-qt Instant Pot to the high saute setting. Heat olive oil; working in batches, add meatballs, and cook until all sides are browned, about 4-5 minutes. Return all meatballs to the Instant Pot.
Step 3

Stir in beef stock, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Step 4

Add spaghetti; stir in pasta sauce until evenly coated. Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 8 minutes. When finished cooking, quick-release pressure according to manufacturer’s directions.
Step 5

Gently stir mixture until spaghetti is completely separated, about 1 minute. Let stand 5 minutes
Step 6

Serve immediately, garnished with basil and Parmesan, if desired.
