Wish me luck

I didn’t much feel like cooking tonight, so I’m making spaghetti and meatballs in my InstantPot. Bag of frozen meatballs, pound of spaghetti noodles, can of crushed tomatoes, two cups of water, and a large jar of Ragu, all cooking for five minutes on high pressure. I’m waiting to find out if I made something edible.

1. Can't speak to the specific proportions, but...

The recipe we tried out for "Instant Pot Lasagne Casserole" turned out quite well.

Similar to what you describe except that its broken up lasagne noodles rather than spaghetti ones, and you brown ground beef & sausage using the "saute" function before adding the rest and starting the pressure cooker cycle. Then stir in ricotta and shredded mozarella when it's done.

I will say it was better as a leftover, but quite nice as a dinner, too.

helpfully,

2. It turned out surprisingly okay

I’ve never done pasta this way before and was expecting something gooey and clumpy. It’s not the greatest spaghetti ever, but perfectly serviceable and easy to make.
