Instant Pot Spaghetti is an easy and delicious weeknight meal the whole family will love! Made with simple ingredients, this comfortingly classic spaghetti recipe is ready in 30 minutes!
Set the Instant Pot to SAUTE and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef, and season with salt, oregano, garlic powder and onion powder. Cook, breaking the beef into small pieces, until cooked through and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Hit CANCEL and add 1 cup broth. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Break the noodles in half and arrange them in the pot in alternating directions. Add the sauce. Do not stir.
Rinse the pasta sauce jar with 1 cup of the remaining broth (pour the broth into the jar and swirl), then pour over the pasta with the additional 1 ½ cups broth. Again, do not stir, but gently press the noodles down with a spoon to ensure that they are submerged in the liquid.
Place the lid on the pot and set to seal. Cook on manual HIGH pressure for 5 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for the pressure to build, then a countdown timer will begin.
When the time is up, quick release the pressure and remove the lid.
Stir to break up the noodles. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
