Ever since I shared my CROCK POT SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS recipe a few years ago, folks immediately started asking for an electric pressure cooker recipe. Instant Pot electric pressure cookers have become immensely popular these last few years and folks want more easy weeknight recipes that kids will love too!

VIDEO INCLUDED BELOW:

WHAT KIND OF PRESSURE COOKER SHOULD I USE?

I have a pretty basic, standard 6.5 quart Instant Pot electric pressure cooker. It doesn’t have a lot of bells of whistles and is pretty basic compared to some models that are out there now. However, it gets the job done. Generally a 6 quart pressure cooker will get the job done for a family of four. Larger 8-quart pressure cookers are better if you are serving more people and need to double recipes.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
Italian-style frozen meatballs
spaghetti noodles
water
beef broth
spaghetti sauce

HOW TO MAKE INSTANT POT SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS:

Add frozen meatballs to the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot electric pressure cooker. Top meatballs with broken spaghetti noodles, spread them out well, otherwise they will stick together while cooking. It’s okay if they poke up at angles. The more room around the noodles, the better.

Pour in water and broth then top with pasta sauce. Don’t stir.

Cook on manual pressure for 9 minutes then quick release. Remove lid and stir and let sit for a little bit to thicken up, it will look soupy at first but will thicken quickly!

Enjoy!
