The Best Instant Pot Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

Step 1

Spray your Instant Pot with cooking spray and set to Sauté. Once the pot is hot add the ground turkey, Italian seasoning, and onions. Use a spatula to stir, and break apart and large chunks of turkey. Once the turkey is cooked, drain the excess grease from the pot.

Step 2

Next add your chicken broth. Break your noodles in half and spread in a thin layer over your turkey, add your bay leaves, then cover your noodles with your sauce. Do not stir.

Step 3

Close and lock the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing. Set your pot to Pressure Cook (high) for 4 minutes.

Step 4

When the cook time is complete, quick release the pressure and remove the lid. Stir your spaghetti and let it sit in the pot for a couple minutes to soak up any remaining liquid.

Step 5

Optional: Garnish with freshly grated parmesan and serve warm. For meal prep, separate into individual serving size containers and refrigerate or freeze until ready to eat.

Step 6

In a large bowl, mix together raw ground meat, seasonings, and onion.

Step 7

Add water to a large pot and turn on high. Covering the pot will help it to boil faster.

Step 8

Add oil or nonstick cooking spray to a large pan and cook ground meat mixture until brown.

Step 9

When the pot of water is boiling, add pasta and cook according to package directions.

Step 10

When turkey is cooked, add sauce to the pan and heat thoroughly. When noodles are cooked, rinse. Make your plate and enjoy!
