INSTANT POT® SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS FLORENTINE



Instant Pot® Spaghetti and Meatballs Florentine image

There's a lot your Instant Pot® can do to make family dinner easier, but one of its best tricks is making this homemade spin on spaghetti and meatballs into a truly delicious one-pot meal. Part of the magic comes from combining the sauté and pressure-cooking functions. Herbed turkey meatballs get seared and the insert gets deglazed, so the browned bits left behind by the meatballs infuse the entire dish with savory flavor. Then, meatballs, pasta and sauce ingredients are put under pressure, which turns three steps into one: making the cheesy sauce, finishing the meatballs and cooking the pasta. After a short time under pressure, all that's left to do is stir in fresh spinach until it's silky. A final dusting of Parmesan and pepper, plus a squeeze of lemon will make this dish truly perfect.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound mild Italian sausage, casing removed
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
8 ounces spaghetti, broken in half
One 28-ounce can tomato puree, preferably San Marzano
2 sprigs basil
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about .75 ounce), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Roll the sausage into 16 balls (each about 1 ounce and 1 inch in diameter). Set a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot® to high saute (see Cook's Note). Add the olive oil to the pot; once it's shimmering, add the meatballs and cook until lightly browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Flip the meatballs and add the garlic. Cook until meatballs are lightly browned on the other side and the garlic is tender, 1 to 2 minutes more. Lay the spaghetti on top of the meatballs, then add the tomato puree, 2 cups of water, basil, red pepper flakes and 2 teaspoons salt. Stir gently, making sure all the spaghetti is submerged in the sauce.
  • Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 6 minutes. After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete (this should take about 2 minutes). Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid, then stir in the Parmesan. Serve with another sprinkle of grated Parmesan on top. The pasta sauce will thicken as it sits and cools.

  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture, as this can result in tough meatballs.
  • Use a large enough pot to accommodate the meatballs and spaghetti so that they have room to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot with meatballs, as this can prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • To ensure the meatballs are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • For the spaghetti, use a high-quality pasta that will hold its shape well when cooked.
  • Don't overcook the spaghetti, as this can result in mushy pasta.
  • To make a creamy tomato sauce, use a combination of crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and heavy cream.
  • Season the sauce to your taste with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  • For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese in the sauce and as a topping for the spaghetti and meatballs.
