Submitted by Alli Manis

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef or 1 lb. Italian sausage 1/4 c onion diced 1 tsp garlic minced 1 jar spaghetti sauce (24 oz) 2 c water I pour into spaghetti sauce jar once emptied, shake to get remainder of sauce and pour in pot, could use beef broth for even more flavor 8 oz spaghetti noodles or whatever you like (we like radiators or cavatapi) 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp salt optional, to taste

Directions:
Put Instant Pot on saute. Add olive oil, onions, and garlic and cook until onions are softened a bit.

Add ground beef and cook until pink is gone. Drain grease or leave in, your choice.

Add jar of spaghetti sauce and water. Break noodles into 3rds (sprinkle in so they don't lump together) and push noodles into liquid until they are covered. (do NOT stir)

Secure lid, close close steam valve and set to 10 minutes (if you want more al dente set for 8-9 minutes). Quick release when it beeps, stir and serve. Done!
