6/20/2023 0 Comments Instant pot plain pasta![]() Spaghetti Texture: we like al dente spaghetti, so the cooking time in this recipe is intended to cook the spaghetti till approximately 85% – 90% cooked. Plus, it’s criticalto fully soak all the spaghetti into the cooking liquid to cook them evenly.ĭon’t Mix the Spaghetti: Resist the urge to stir the spaghetti with the peeled tomatoes or marinara sauce because this may warrant the sensitive “BURN” notice. Try to spread out the spaghetti so they won’t clump together as they cook. ![]() Pin it and share it if it looks good to you.Fully Submerge Spaghetti into Sauce: inevitably we need to break the dried spaghetti in half for them to fit in the Instant Pot. I hope y’all enjoy Instant Pot spaghetti as much as we do! Instant Pot Spaghetti Recipeĭid you try this recipe? Give it a star rating. It stays warm until lunch, and they love it! Tip: I often pack leftovers for my kids’ lunches in vacuum sealed thermoses. I also want to add that this easily yields eight servings and makes great leftovers. □□□Īnd congratulations ladies and gents, you have dinner! □□ If you want to gussy things up a little, add some grated parmesan and fresh basil. I stir for a couple of minutes, and then I let it sit for another 5 minutes or so to let that liquid evaporate, stirring a couple times in that 5 minutes. No worries! Use your tongs to grab those clumps and stir them up to separate. □Īnd some of the noodles will be stuck in clumps like this. Heads up: When you open the pot, it’s going to look like a mess. □□♀️Nope! So here is what I do to ensure the best texture and liquid level. But when you eat instant pot spaghetti, nobody wants it to resemble spaghetti soup. You want to make sure you have enough liquid for the pot to come to pressure. I always throw a kitchen towel over the top to prevent spewing. Then I quick release the remaining pressure. After the time is up, I let the pot sit for 5 minutes on natural release. It will take ten minutes or so to come to pressure. Then cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. All of the pasta doesn’t need to stay submerged or anything. Then I use my spoon and gently press the stack of pasta into the water. I would estimate that for a pound of pasta I divide it into 3 handfuls, broken in half, which creates 6 halves. It doesn’t have to be perfect or anything. This prevents some (but not all!) of the noodles from sticking together. I take a handful and break it in half, and I place the halves in criss cross fashion, as shown below. The next steps need to be followed pretty closely, including the order put into the pot. Then I drain the fat off and set aside the cooked beef. I take the opportunity to season mine up a little too – with some salt, pepper and garlic powder. □□□□įirst, you brown your ground beef in your Instant Pot. And maybe one day I will publish that recipe.īut with back-to-school season right around the corner, I knew y’all would appreciate me keepin’ it real.□□□♀️ And currently in our house, this is how we rock spaghetti night. I am perfectly capable of making it from scratch. I must admit that since I started making spaghetti this way in my Instant Pot, I rarely make it any other way. Head back to the recipe index, if you wish, and find something you might like better. So if you are offended by broken spaghetti or store-bought sauce, I still love you. □ Promise! But this recipe is simply not for you, friend. And after years of blogging (plus seeing the number of page views, pins and shares on this very recipe), I know a lot of you feel the same way. I do sometimes.īut most of the time I’d rather throw this in my Instant Pot and call it a day. For me, this would be my alternative to hitting up a drive through. This is written in the spirit of quick and easy, but still yummy. So who is this for? This recipe is for the busy person who is simply just trying to get dinner on the table and cares very little about being “authentic.” ![]() And no offense, but this is not written the authentic Italian cook. Update: I have had sooo many hard core Italian cooks call me out for this recipe that I would like to respond. □ While making spaghetti from scratch may be more ideal, I know my target audience for this particular recipe. Note: This post contains Amazon affiliate links. As for me, I am a Trader Joe’s girl.□□□ □□ I make this with staples that I always keep on hand. I am happy to bring y’all one of my barely-a-recipe emergency dinners! This one is not made from scratch, but it is part of the reason I love it and make it often.
