Name: Instant Pot Best Spaghetti & Meatballs
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 16 min
Total time: 21 min
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 1/2 cup hot sauce of your choice; 1 teaspoon Cajun/Creole/Louisiana Seasoning (I use Tony Chachere’s); 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (and you can add more to taste); 5.2 ounce package of Boursin cheese (any flavor) or 4 ounces (1/2 of a brick) of cream cheese; 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil; 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) salted butter; 2 shallots or 1 yellow or sweet (Vidalia) onion, diced; 1 tablespoon (3 cloves) garlic, crushed or minced; 1 – 1 1/2 pounds of meatballs about the size of ping-pong balls – any of your choice (either frozen or raw. Feel free to make mine here and follow Steps 1 & 2 and make them the size of ping-pong balls. Don’t want meatballs? Leave ’em out!); 3 cups broth of your choice (I used 3 teaspoons Garlic Better Than Bouillon + 3 cups water); 3 cups marinara sauce, divided (use your favorite – I like Victoria which many Costcos and markets carry. The better brand of sauce used, the better the final product); 1 teaspoon oregano; 1 lb (1 box) of spaghetti; 10 ounces grape/cherry tomatoes; 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
