Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Colander

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon Stone House Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 28 ounce crushed tomatoes can
  • 4.5 cups water
  • 1 pound spaghetti noodles broken in half
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Set the Instant Pot to Sauté and heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn off Sauté and carefully drain any excess grease from the pot.
  • Return the pot (if removed) and add the Stone House Seasoning, dried oregano, crushed tomatoes (28-ounce can), and 4.5 cups water; stir to combine.
  • Lay the broken spaghetti noodles on top of the meat and sauce so they are mostly submerged; add a little more water only if needed to ensure the noodles are covered.
  • Secure the lid and cook at high pressure for 8 minutes. When done, perform a quick release to release remaining pressure.
  • Remove the lid and stir the spaghetti and sauce until combined and noodles are separated.
  • Serve portions topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • This recipe is ready quickly and works well for weeknight dinners.
  • Do not overfill the Instant Pot; follow your model's max-fill guidelines.
  • Break spaghetti in half so it fits and cooks evenly.
  • Use quick release carefully to avoid steam burns.
  • Omit or adjust Parmesan to taste.
