1
Turn on the Instant Pot to sauté mode, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and heat it.
2
Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Season with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
3
Cook, continuing to break up the beef until it's cooked through and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
4
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring until they are softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
5
Turn off the sauté function and add 1/2 cup of water. Scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any stuck-on bits.
6
Pour in the jar of marinara sauce and mix well.
7
Break the spaghetti strands in half and spread them evenly over the beef mixture in one or two layers. Do not stir.
8
Rinse the pasta sauce jar with the remaining 1 cup of water and pour it over the top of the spaghetti. Still, do not stir.
9
Seal the Instant Pot and set it to cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. It should take about 10-12 minutes to come up to pressure.
10
After the cooking time is done, perform a quick release, then stir the spaghetti into the sauce.
11
Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
