INSTANT POT BEST SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Add the oil and butter to the Instant Pot, hit Sauté and Adjust so it's on the More or High setting. Once melted, add in the shallots and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes
• Add in the meatballs (frozen or raw) followed by the broth, 1 1/2 cups of the marinara sauce, oregano and the spicy ingredients (if using - if not, simply leave them out). Stir well.
• In batches, break the spaghetti in half and place in the pot (I know it's a sin for some to break spaghetti, but for it to cook properly and fit in the pot, this needs to be done - it'll still feel long, cook perfectly AND it creates more servings!)
• DO NOT STIR the spaghetti, but smooth it out with a spoon so it's submerged under the broth.
• Top with the cherry tomatoes, secure the lid, hit Keep Warm/Cancel and then hit Manual or Pressure Cook at High Pressure and set the time for 8 minutes. Quick release when done
• Give the spaghetti a stir. If it appears to clump together a bit, it will quickly detach once stirred and while the noodles should be perfectly al dente, they will also soften in a few moments of resting. If the sauce appears a bit thin, not to worry as that will all change! Add in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce along with the Parmesan and the Boursin or cream cheese (if using) and give it a final stir and let rest for about 3-5 minutes before serving as the sauce will thicken even more.
• Place in bowl and serve with additional parmesan cheese if desired.

INSTANT POT SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine ground beef, sausage, Panko, 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. 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®. Stir in beef stock, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. 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. Gently stir mixture until spaghetti is completely separated, about 1 minute. Let stand 5 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with basil and Parmesan, if desired.

PRESSURE COOKER SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Set pressure cooker to the sauté function, and heat 2 tablespoons oil in the pot. Stir in garlic, red pepper and black pepper, and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Stir in tomatoes, salt and basil sprigs; cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes (lower the sauté function to low or briefly turn the machine off if the sauce splatters too much).
• Meanwhile, make the meatballs: In a large bowl, mix together beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan, chopped basil, egg, salt and garlic. Roll into 1 1/4-inch balls.
• Pour 1 cup water into sauce in pot, scraping up any browned bits on bottom of pot (if you don't do this, the burn light may turn on). Scatter uncooked spaghetti over the sauce. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon oil over spaghetti, stirring gently (try to keep the spaghetti on top of the sauce), then top with meatballs.
• Cover and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Manually release the pressure, then remove the cover and stir to separate the spaghetti. Stir in 2 tablespoons Parmesan. At this point, the pasta will be almost but not quite cooked through. Place the top back on the pressure cooker (loosely) and let it sit for 3 to 10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and spaghetti is al dente but not mushy.
• Serve dolloped with ricotta, if using, and sprinkled with thinly sliced basil and more Parmesan if you like.

INSTANT POT SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Saute Onion & Herbs: Use "Sauté More" to heat up your Instant Pot. Wait until it says "HOT" on the screen. Add 1 tbsp olive oil in Instant Pot and make sure the oil is coated over the whole bottom of the pot. Add in sliced onions, then saute for three minutes. Add in minced garlic, 1½ tsp (1.8g) dried basil, 1½ tsp (1.2g) dried oregano, and 3 tbsp (45ml) regular soy sauce. Saute until the soy sauce is reduced and begins to stick to the pot (roughly 1.5 to 2 minutes).
• Deglaze Instant Pot: Pour 1 cup (250ml) unsalted chicken stock in Instant Pot, then deglaze by scrubbing all the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Give it a quick mix.
• Pressure Cook Spaghetti and Meatballs: Add in 3 cups (750ml) unsalted chicken stock. Break the 1lb (454g) spaghetti in half, then add spaghetti in Instant Pot. Amy + Jacky's Tips! Make sure you soak all the spaghetti in chicken stock, and try to spread them out. So they won't clump together & cook evenly.Add in 1lb (454g) frozen meatballs. Layer 2 tsp (10g) tomato paste and 1 large can (28oz) crushed tomatoes on top. Do not mix. Amy + Jacky's Tips! Don't stir the spaghetti with the tomato sauce because this may trigger the "BURN" notice.With Venting Knob in Venting Position, close the lid, then turn Venting Knob to Sealing Position. Pressure cook at High Pressure for 3 minutes, then Natural Release for 5 minutes. Open the lid carefully.
• Thicken and Season Spaghetti: Set aside the meatballs on a serving plate. Use "Saute More" to bring the spaghetti back to a simmer. With a wooden spoon, break down the tomatoes, then stir to cook the spaghetti and thicken the spaghetti sauce. It'll take a few minutes to thicken the sauce as the spaghetti releases its starch. Amy + Jacky's Tips! If your meatballs released a lot of meat juice, your spaghetti may be a bit watery. Add in another 1 to 2 tsp (5g to 10g) tomato paste to help thicken the sauce. Taste and season with more salt and ground black pepper. You'll need roughly 2 to 3 large pinches of salt to bring out all the flavors. Press "cancel" to turn off the heat.
• Serve: Once the spaghetti sauce has thickened, add the previously set-aside meatballs in spaghetti. Garnish the flavorful spaghetti and meatballs with parsley and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve and enjoy~
