    Instant pot spaghetti is a one-pot dish that is going to change your life for the better. Not only do you create your own pasta sauce but you also cook the noodles in that sauce making them delicious and flavorful! The best part- it doesn't take long at all!

    One-pot spaghetti is great for those of us who hate dirtying dishes but what makes it even better is when you consider that your homemade pasta sauce is going to be incredibly flavorful and delicious despite not having been simmered for hours like a traditional recipe might request.

    Having a delicious and flavorful pressure cooker spaghetti ready in minutes is possibly one of the best recipes that you can stumble upon. But pairing it with a homemade bread roll, salad or green beans and then following it up with a dessert is one way to win the “best dinner” award with the family too.

    Can you freeze leftover spaghetti?

    Yes, you can! Simply place it in an airtight container and freeze for up to a few weeks. Just make sure to thaw it before reheating. to reheat the spaghetti, you can place it in the oven in an oven-safe baking dish, or cook it in a pot on the stove with a little olive oil to keep it from sticking. The microwave is another fast option as well!

    Do I have to use ground beef?

    No, you can use any ground meat that you prefer including ground turkey or ground chicken. You may need to add in a little additional broth to the pot when you use the drier meats like chicken or turkey.
