Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef (or turkey)

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce

2 cups water

12 ounces spaghetti

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

    Shape the mixture into about 20 meatballs, each approximately 1 inch in size.

      Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode, adding a bit of oil to the inner pot. Once hot, add meatballs in batches, browning them for 2-3 minutes on all sides. Remove and set aside.

        Pour in 2 cups of water and deglaze the pot by scraping any browned bits off the bottom with a spatula.

          Place the uncooked spaghetti on top of the water in a crisscross pattern, ensuring it's not clumped together. Pour the marinara sauce over the spaghetti.

            Gently place the browned meatballs on top of the marinara sauce. Do not stir.

              Close the lid of the Instant Pot and ensure the steam valve is set to sealing. Select the manual setting and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.

                Once the cooking time is complete, do a quick release of the steam. Carefully open the lid and fluff the spaghetti with a fork to combine with the sauce and meatballs.

                  Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
