Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 16 oz uncooked spaghetti
  • 15 oz canned tomato sauce
  • 25 oz jar marinara sauce

Instructions
 

  • Activate the sauté function on the Instant Pot. Add the ground beef (or turkey) and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
  • Turn off the sauté function. Add water, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
  • Break the spaghetti noodles in half and lay them in the pot in different directions to prevent sticking.
  • Pour the tomato sauce and marinara sauce over the noodles. Do not stir.
  • Close the lid and set the steam valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 7 minutes for regular spaghetti or 5 minutes for whole wheat spaghetti.
  • Once cooking is complete, perform a quick release by carefully moving the steam valve to venting.
  • Open the lid and stir the spaghetti gently to combine with the sauce. Let it rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
