Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon Stone House seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 28 ounce crushed tomatoes 1 can
  • 4.5 cups water
  • 1 pound spaghetti noodles broken in half
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Colander

Method
 

  1. Set the Instant Pot to sauté and add the ground beef.
  2. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned throughout, about 5 minutes; then turn off the Instant Pot and drain excess fat.
  3. Return the pot (if removed) and add the Stone House seasoning, dried oregano, crushed tomatoes (28-ounce can), and 4½ cups water; stir to combine.
  4. Lay the broken spaghetti noodles on top of the meat mixture and press down so they are mostly submerged; add a little extra water if needed to cover the noodles.
  5. Secure the lid and cook at high pressure for 8 minutes.
  6. Carefully perform a quick release to release the pressure, then remove the lid and stir the spaghetti to combine sauce and pasta.
  7. Serve portions topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
