Instant Pot One-Pot Spaghetti with Meat Sauce - GUEST BLOG

-
Katie made this for dinner the other night and immediately sent both her brother and me the photos --luckily she also saved me some of the leftovers -- even on the reheat it was so delicious ! She found the recipe on skinnytaste blog. Katie actually used the new chick pea pasta from Banza ( they sell it at Target) - it is high in protein and fiber.  I am sure it would be just as great with your favorite spaghetti as well. This picture was pre parmesan cheese and basil toppings.


1 lb 93% ground turkey
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup diced onion
1 clove minced garlic
1 jar (25.25 ounces) tomato basil pomodoro sauce
2 cups water
8 ounces whole wheat or any spaghetti
Grated parmesan cheese, optional for serving

  • Press saute on the Instant Pot. When hot add the turkey and salt and cook, breaking up about 3 minutes.
    Add the onions, and garlic and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
    Add the Pomodoro sauce, water and spaghetti (broken in half), making sure the liquid covers everything without stirring.
    Cover and cook on high pressure 9 minutes.
    Quick release so the pasta doesn’t continue cooking, and serve topped with grated cheese if desired!

    We made this for dinner tonight and Kevin kept raving about the smoky flavor to it and suddenly stated you need to blog this (which I already intended to). After he went back for his final last bite finally packed up the leftovers for his lunch tomorrow. We will be making this again ... and again!     6 slices Bacon 2 cloves Garlic (thinly sliced) 1 can Tomato Paste 1/4 cup Vodka 1/2 cup Heavy Cream Pinch Nutmeg 1 pound Penne 1 piece Parmigiano Reggiano (for grating)   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook penne 1 minute short of the package instructions.
