Step 1

Turn the Instant Pot to saute/sear, add the ground beef and onion. Cook, stirring regularly until browned.

Step 2

Add the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook and stir for about a 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan well with a spatula to remove any pieces from the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Turn the Instant Pot off. Break the spaghetti noodles in half, and place a thin, even layer of pasta across the meat (don’t stir). Place another thin, even layer of spaghetti noodles on top of the first layer in the other direction, and repeat until all spaghetti noodles are used, alternating directions each time. Basically, we want to prevent any clumps, so be sure that your layers are not to thick — the noodles will cook in the exact place you put them. If they are in one big pile, they will cook into one big clump.

Step 5

Top with pasta sauce, spread evenly to cover the spaghetti noodles as best as you can.

Step 6

Put the lid on, turn the Instant Pot to Manual/Custom, and select a cook time of 2 minutes. It will take about 10-15 minutes to reach pressure and begin counting down.

Step 7

When the cook time is over, let pressure release naturally for 3-4 minutes, then open the valve to quickly release remaining pressure. You can also do a controlled release, by holding the valve open slightly to gradually release pressure. Open the pot carefully.

Step 8

Stir to combine sauce and noodles and serve.
