Instant Pot Spaghetti - Gluten and Dairy Free

Have you been making spaghetti in pots?  Sauce popping all over your kitchen? Multiple pots and pans dirty? 

STOP. 

Making spaghetti in the Instant Pot has been a game changer.  

One pot. No mess. Dump and walk away.  

I will NEVER make it another way again.  
Instant Pot Spaghetti - Gluten and Dairy Free
~1 lb. of ground beef
diced onions
12 oz. GF spaghetti noodles
2 cans of stewed tomatoes ( I chop the tomatoes up a bit while in the can)
2 cans of (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp.  oregano
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. sugar
2 cups of water

In your IP, first add your ground beef and onions.  Cook (or warm if already cooked) your meat, using the "sauté" function. (Turn "sauté" when meat is done.)  Next, and this is SUPER important, you want to break your noodles in half and layer your dry noodles, log cabin style, as many layers as possible. (See picture below.)  This will insure your noodles do not stick together.  Trust me on this.  After many failed attempts to help the noodles not stick . . . this is the only method that works.  And it really works!  Next add your sauce.  Just dump your tomatoes, tomato sauce, spices and sugar right on top of the noodles.  Last, add 2 cups of water. Do NOT stir anything! (You don't want to mess up those noodles!) Just put your lid on and walk away!  It's a dream come true!

Set your IP for 9 minutes on High Pressure (manual), making sure the seal is sealed.  While it is cooking you can make a salad, a veggie, or some breadsticks. When time is up, quick release your pressure.  Now you want to stir your noodles up real good and then you are done!

Enjoy your food and washing ONE pot and not washing your stove top because it is not covered in spaghetti sauce splatters.  Hooray!
