Instant Pot Sunday Night Pasta
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb ground meat (beef or turkey)
- 18 frozen meatballs (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 (24 ounce) jar pasta sauce (I use Classico)
- 1 (1 lb) box penne
- Cook the frozen meatballs in the oven according to the package instructions.
- While the meatballs are cooking, set the instant pot to saute mode and throw in the olive oil, onion and garlic until soft.
- Add in the ground meat, salt and pepper and cook until well browned. Deglaze the pan with a little less than a 1/4 cup of water. Just make sure nothing is stuck on the bottom.
- Pour in the pasta sauce and add 1 jar + 1/2 jar of water. Stir well. Turn off the instant pot.
- Add the pasta on top of the meat sauce but do not stir it around. Just push it down to fully submerge.
- Cook it on high pressure for 5 minutes and do a quick release. Add in the browned meatballs and serve immediately!
