Ingredients

2 lbs. ground beef or turkey
1 tsp chopped garlic or garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt or less if you prefer
¼ tsp paprika
¼ tsp oregano
1 egg
½ lb. dry uncooked spaghetti
1 jar 67oz spaghetti sauce
1 tbsp. cooking oil
½ tsp chopped garlic

Instructions

Mix ground meat, dry seasoning and egg well. Use a small ice cream scoop to make evenly sized meatballs.
Set pressure cooker to sauté mode. Once hot, add oil and garlic.
Add meatballs in one layer. Turn over meatballs to brown evenly. Remove meatballs.
Set aside. Continue working in batches until all meatballs are browned. Note: They don’t have to be fully cooked as they will be cooked further later on.
Add water to cooker, scraping bottom to release browned bits. Add about ½ cup of spaghetti sauce to the water. Mix well.
Add uncooked spaghetti to pot. Add water until spaghetti is covered. Cook on high pressure at 4-5 minutes.
Quick release, remove cooked spaghetti from cooker. Return meatballs to pot, add rest of spaghetti sauce.
Cook on high pressure for another 8 minutes natural release.
Serve meatballs, sauce on spaghetti. Garnish with Parmesan cheese if you wish.
