How to Cook Spaghetti in an Instant Pot
Quick-release the pressure once done and let rest 5-10 minutes. Serve immediately with cheese, parsley, and maybe a slice of homemade garlic bread.
The sauce may seem a little bit thin when you open the lid but as it cools and the pasta continues to soak up the sauce, it’ll thicken up beautifully and the pasta will become tender!
Tips for Success
Deglaze the brown bits on the bottom of the pan after browning the meat, this helps avoid the dreaded burn notice! Submerge Ensure the pasta is completely submerged in the sauce before cooking.

Leftover Spaghetti?
Leftover spaghetti makes a lunch or dinner the next day, in fact, just like chili it’s almost better next day! It’ll keep in the fridge up to 4 days.
