Instant Pot Meatballs and Pasta

Instant Pot Meatballs and Pasta Recipe

In my ongoing search for different meals to make in my Instant Pot, tried this one for it's ease (I used premade meatballs and jarred spaghetti sauce that I added spices too) we love spaghetti in this house and this is fast and easy. In full disclosure, this is NOT up to our standard homemade favorite, but didn't expect that. It does come together fast and easy, and not bad considering that. We also prefer our sauce served on top of the spaghetti, so that made a difference too. But when in a hurry it does work. Soooo, don't expect company worthy results - but it works

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 3 cups spaghetti sauce
  • 1 lb pasta, uncooked

Meatballs

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 lb italian seasoned meat

Instructions
 

  • Serve and enjoy!
  • Mix all of the meatball ingredients together and form into uniform one inch meatballs.
  • Pour the chicken stock into the instant pot. Add the noodles. Pour the spaghetti sauce on top. Set the meatballs on top of the sauce.
  • Lock the lid in place and select Manual, High Pressure and 5 minutes cook time.
  • When the cook time ends, turn off the pressure cooker. Use the quick pressure please. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid.
  • Serve and enjoy!
  • NOTE:
  • Chicken Stock. It is key that you add this first.
  • Pasta. Add this after the chicken stock.
  • Spaghetti Sauce. You want to add this after the first two ingredients because if it goes in first, or is too close the bottom it can scorch and prevent your pressure cooker from coming to pressure.
