Servings: persons

1 lb 90% lean ground beef
1 tablespoon prepared pesto sauce
1 large egg, beaten
4 tablespoons Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/4 cups marinara sauce
12 ounces spaghetti, broken in half
grated parmesan cheese (optional)

1
In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, pesto, egg, breadcrumbs, 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Mix well with clean hands and form in to 8 meatballs.
2
Add olive oil and 1/4 cup of marinara sauce to the bottom of the inner pot and set Instant Pot to Saute function. Cook meatballs for 2 to 3 minutes. Shake the pot gently to make sure the meatballs aren't sticking to the bottom.
3
Press Cancel. Scatter the pasta over the meatballs, layer in opposite directions to prevent the pasta from clumping together. Top pasta with remaining 1 cup of sauce, followed by 2 cups of water.
4
Cover and lock the lid in place, set to Pressure Cook on high pressure for 9 minutes. When the cook time is up, quick release the pressure. Remove the lid, pour pasta and meatballs out onto a large platter or serving dish. Serve with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
