This is my kid’s favorite meal. And it’s shortly becoming mine since it takes 7 minutes to make, and both my kids eat it, so it’s a total score.
I will tell you that making spaghetti in the Instant Pot has not worked for me yet. I am still working on it. But, the heavier kinds of pasta have all been a win for me.
Now, while I do make a mean gravy and homemade meatballs, this recipe, is more handy and quick to use since it uses store-bought ingredients.
Add the frozen meatballs to your Instant Pot
Add 3 cups of water to your Instant Pot
Add your pasta to the Instant Pot
Add your pasta sauce, and set the timer for manual high temperature for 7 minutes.
When it’s done, do a quick release
