Instant Pot Pasta and Frozen Meatballs

Instant Pot Pasta and Meatballs Dinner–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.

This is one of the quickest meals you can make in the Instant Pot, and it’s one of my “dump meals,” I love coming home and throwing everything into the Instant Pot and then going to run to do something else. The Instant Pot does all of the work. 

Instant Pot Pasta and Meatball Recipe-

While today, I used a bunch of items in my freezer and pantry, you can easily substitute these out for homemade meatballs or gravy. I am a busy gal, and so that means, my two always hungry teenagers are always looking for food. This has been one of my go-to meals since I got my first Instant Pot back in 2017.
