  • 1 (24 Ounce) Jar Spaghetti Sauce
  • 36 Ounces Water

  • Set the Instant Pot to saute’ and add the ground beef.  Add the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasonings.  Cook the meat and seasonings, breaking the meat up until it’s completely browned.  Turn the Instant Pot off. Drain any excess grease from meat if necessary.
  • Break the spaghetti in half and place on top of meat in the Instant Pot.  Pour over the spaghetti sauce, diced tomato, and water.  Push the spaghetti down with a spoon if necessary to make sure it is completely covered in liquid.  
  • Seal the instant pot and set it to manual mode, high pressure, 8 minutes cooking time.  When the time is up, use manual quick release to open the Instant Pot.  Stir the spaghetti well.  Serve immediately.

Notes

NOTE:  This spaghetti may appear to be a little liquidy right after cooking.  Be sure to stir well to incorporate all of the liquid into the noodles before serving.NOTE:  Some people have had an issue with their noodles “clumping” together.  Try crisscrossing the noodles when you add them to the instant pot, instead of adding them in one big chunk. Some clumping is normal, simply use a fork to pull any noodles apart that have stuck together. 

Air Fryer Arancini

  • 1.5 cups panko
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • risotto

In a small bowl, place the bread crumbs. In another bowl, place the beaten eggs.

Remove chilled risotto from the fridge. Roll into 1 inch rice balls.

Dip into eggs then into bread crumbs to coat the entire ball. Do this until you run out of ingredients.

Place rolled and coated balls back into the fridge for 45 minutes.

Remove from fridge and place into Air Fryer in small batches.

Cook at 400 degrees F for a cooking time of 10 minutes. Shake at minute 8. The balls are actually done around minute 6-7 but the browning doesn’t happen until minute 8-10.
