Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 8 ounces Uncooked spaghetti
  • 1 24 oz  Jar marinara sauce
  • 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Turn Instant Pot to saute mode. Once heated add the olive oil and ground beef. Break the beef up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned. Turn Instant Pot off.
  • Add the Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and water. Stir until well combined, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Break the spaghetti noodles in half and lay them in the pot in about 5 parts, with each part laying in a different direction (this is to prevent the spaghetti from sticking together).
  • Then pour the marinara sauce over the spaghetti. Do not stir.
  •  Seal the pressure cooker. Cook at high pressure/manual for 7 minutes.
  • Carefully do a quick release. Remove lid, stir. You will see some liquid in the pot. This will absorb after just a few minutes. Wait for 3-5 minutes and then serve.
  • Serve with parmesan cheese and ENJOY!

Notes

If using whole wheat spaghetti with a package cook time of 7-9 minutes. Cook at high pressure/manual for 5 minutes. If using regular spaghetti with a package cook time of 9-11 minutes, Cook at high pressure/manual for 7 minutes.
