How to Make Homemade Spaghetti
- Saute Ingredients: Set the Air Pot to Sauté mode. Once heated, add the olive oil and onion. Sauté until the onion begins to soften.
- Cook the Meat: Add the ground beef and seasonings (Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and minced garlic) to the pot. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked.
- Prepare the Pot: Remove the meat mixture and add 3 cups of water, scraping the bottom of the pot well to prevent a Burn warning.
- Add the Pasta: Break the spaghetti noodles in half and layer them in the pot in a criss-cross pattern to prevent clumping.
- Layer the Sauce: Pour the spaghetti sauce over the noodles, followed by the can of diced tomatoes, if using.
- Add Water: Pour the remaining water around the sides and over the top to ensure the pasta is fully covered.
- Cook Under Pressure: Secure the lid, turn the valve to Sealing, and select the Pressure Cook setting. Set the timer for 5 minutes.
- Release Pressure: Allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then perform a quick release until the pin drops.
- Combine and Serve: Carefully open the lid and stir everything together until the noodles, meat, and sauce are well mixed.
