Time
5 minutes (24 minutes total)

Ingredients

  • 1 pound 93% lean ground turkey or lean ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 10 ounces spaghetti, wheat or gluten-free
  • Grated Parmesan, optional

Method

  1. Set the Instant Pot to sauté. Once hot, add the ground meat and salt; break it apart and cook for about 3 minutes.
  2. Add the onion and garlic, then cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened.
  3. Cancel sauté, add the water, and scrape the bottom of the pot clean.
  4. Break the spaghetti in half and add it to the pot. Pour the marinara over it so all the pasta is covered; do not stir.
  5. Seal and pressure-cook on high for 9 minutes.
  6. Immediately quick-release the pressure, open the lid, stir, and serve with Parmesan if desired.
