½ Onion, chopped

How To Make Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs
Add the oil to the bottom of the Instant Pot and turn on the sauté function.
Sauté the onions until softened.
Stir in the ground beef, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, minced garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté until the meat is fully cooked. Drain the excess fat, remove the meat mixture from the Instant Pot, and set aside for later.
Turn off the sauté function and pour half of the water into the Instant Pot.
Break the spaghetti noodles in half and layer them in an “x” pattern at the bottom of the pot.
Cover the spaghetti noodles completely with the pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, and remaining water. Make sure the noodles are fully submerged.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot, and set the valve to sealing.
Cook on manual high pressure for 5 minutes.
Allow a natural release for 5 minutes, then carefully move the valve to the venting position to release the remaining pressure.
Once it’s safe, open the lid, return the meat mixture to the Instant Pot, and stir everything together well before serving.
