This has officially become my favorite go-to Instant Pot recipe for busy nights. I love that I can adjust the ingredients based on what I have on hand, I can make larger batches if I want to make extras to freeze, and my daughter says “Yummy tummy!” whenever I make it =).
Even more exciting, this is a recipe I came up with all on my own! My first IP trial and error recipe. So, here it is–step by step–a recipe I’m bound to make 1-2 times a week to keep the freezer stocked!
So, here’s what you’ll need to get this Yummy in your Tummy!
- 1lb of ground beef
- 1 tbs minced garlic
- 1 tsp basil
- 1 jar of spaghetti sauce (I’m a hardcore Prego fan, personally!)
- 1/2 package of spaghetti noodles (I prefer angel hair pasta, but that’s just me)
- salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions:
- Set IP to saute. Add ground beef, garlic, basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring often, until browned.

- When browned, drain any grease (if necessary).
- Break 1/2 package of noodles of choice. Make sure they are broken in half to ensure they all fit and can be fully covered by liquid.
- Pour in spaghetti sauce of choice & one jar of liquid. Do not stir.
- Cook on manual high for 7 minutes with an instant pressure release.
- Stir! Use sauce function if you’re unhappy with the amount of liquid.

And, voila! Yummy Tummy Instant Pot spaghetti! Pop in the freezer for later consumption if desired.
Enjoy!
