  • Directions

    Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the sauté function. Add onion and olive oil. Cook and stir until onion is slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Add beef, Italian seasoning, pepper flakes, garlic, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Hit Cancel. Pour 1/4 cup water into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

    Layer spaghetti strands on top of meat in a crisscross pattern. Pour marinara sauce over pasta. Pour diced tomatoes over sauce. Pour remaining 3 cups water around sides and on top of tomatoes. Push down lightly with a spatula to make sure water gets through layers and all pasta is covered.

    Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

    Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 5 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir spaghetti and meat sauce together well before serving.
