Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef
1 diced onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1 cup water
6 ounces uncooked spaghetti
14 ounces diced tomatoes with juices
2 cups marinara sauce or pasta sauce
3/4 cup red wine
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped parsley


Directions:
Turn a 6QT Instant Pot onto saute. Cook beef, onion and garlic until browned and no pink remains. Drain fat if there is more than 1 tablespoon or so.

Add water and scrape any brown bits. Break spaghetti in half and add spaghetti, tomatoes, marinara, wine, and Italian seasoning. Press the pasta so the sauce covers it.

Close the lid and select manual, high pressure for 8 minutes.

Once completed, quick release pressure and stir. Rest 5-10 minutes.

Stir in cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.


NOTES:

*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.

*Size This recipe has only been tested in a 6QT Instant Pot. If your IP is a different size, consult your manual.

*Rest Once cooked you will see liquid on the top, give it a stir an allow it to sit for at least 10 minutes uncovered. The pasta will continue to cook and the sauce will thicken.
