Why You’ll Love This Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs

This dish isn’t just quick—it’s a game-changer. Imagine juicy meatballs, pasta that’s perfectly tender (not mushy!), and a sauce that clings to every strand, all made in one pot in about 15 minutes. Anything but boring!!

Here’s why it stands out:

Weeknight-friendly – from prep to plate in under 20 minutes.
One pot, less mess – no extra strainers or saucepans.
Customizable – make it your own with homemade meatballs, spiced-up sauce, or veggie add-ins.
Flavorful – the pressurized cooking infuses the sauce right into the spaghetti.

And the smell when it’s cooking? Absolutely incredible!!

What Does It Taste Like?

Rich, tomatoey sauce wraps around each noodle, while the meatballs bring savory, seasoned depth. The olive oil gives everything a silky finish, and that sprinkle of Parmesan with fresh basil? Pure Italian comfort in a bowl.
