Ingredients
Before we begin, let's take a look at what you'll need to make this dish:
- 1 pound gluten-free spaghetti
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup gluten-free bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 jar (24 oz) gluten-free marinara sauce
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Instructions
Now that you have your ingredients, let's get started with the cooking process:
- Begin by making the meatballs. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, gluten-free bread crumbs, egg, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Turn on your Instant Pot and select the "Saute" function. Once the pot is hot, add the olive oil, onion, and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the meatballs to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are browned on the outside.
- Add the gluten-free spaghetti to the pot, breaking it in half if necessary to fit. Pour the gluten-free marinara sauce and water over the spaghetti and meatballs.
- Close the Instant Pot and set it to "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" mode for 8 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then use the quick-release valve to release any remaining pressure.
- Open the Instant Pot and stir the spaghetti and meatballs. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh basil.
Tips
Here are some tips to help you make the most of this recipe:
- Be sure to use gluten-free spaghetti and gluten-free bread crumbs to keep this dish gluten-free.
- If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can make this recipe on the stovetop. Simply cook the spaghetti according to the package directions and cook the meatballs in a separate skillet. Combine the cooked spaghetti, meatballs, sauce, and water in a large pot and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- You can swap out the ground beef for ground turkey, chicken, or pork if you prefer.
- If you like your spaghetti with a little kick, try adding some red pepper flakes to the pot with the onion and garlic.
