I am single so this will make a LOT of spaghetti.
I assume you add the liquid chicken broth/water at step 7?

I ended up doubling it, since I don’t have an Instant Pot Mini, and don’t feel like having to cook again tomorrow. We will definitely be adding this one to our regular rotation, it was so full of flavor.

This recipe is for the instant pot, not the crockpot.

I tried making this in a regular sized crockpot and this recipe didn’t work. 😕

Made this again tonight. It was the easiest thing I could think to make after having my all day chemo treatment today! I took a 3 hour nap then managed to throw this together in no time at all. Almost have the recipe memorized… and my dad is having seconds right now. 😂

It’s actually me who is going through cancer treatment, but thank you so much, Christina. :) Just came back tonight to make it again—dad always goes for seconds and ruins my chance to have it leftover. Lol.

Thank you for commenting, Stephanie. I am thinking of you and your dad. I wish him a speedy recovery XOXO

I’ve made this one twice so far and it’s the perfect meal for my senior dad and I, especially as I am going through cancer treatment and don’t have the energy to do complicated meals right now. My picky dad even loves it… and he is one of those guys who will definitely comment if there’s “not enough meat” so I think the meat to sauce ratio is definitely on point. ;) I weigh my ground beef and pasta on a kitchen scale so I can make sure I’m grabbing the correct amount.

Why didn’t I just follow your recipe?! And used one cup of that sauce, Oh well got the burn notice, took it out, emptied it into a bowl, cleaned the pot, added water and stirred thoroughly. I’ll see if I can salvage the mess I’ve made. Insert eye roll. It tastes great, though! And the mistake is mine, entirely.

It’s 40C outside. That NEVER happens here. I’m melting, but I’m hungry. I didn’t have broth, so I used a 680ml can of Hunts Thick and Rich, and my fingers are crossed! I’m sure it will be fine. Thanks! I’ll come back if I messed it up since I, um, didn’t follow your recipe precisely. I hate it when people do that, but necessity is the mother of invention, so I’m hopeful it will be ok. Wish me luck!

Yes. Baked ziti and lasagna in the instant pot mini.

I don’t, but I will work on it! Like, baked ziti in the IP and a mini lasagna? Or lasagna soup?

You’re using the instant pot MINI, correct? I share small batch recipes developed for the instant pot 3 quart mini model.
Are you doing the forced pressure release?
