This Easy Instant Pot Pasta And Meatballs is such an easy weeknight dinner! Now, after two years of using this Instant Pot, this is still one of the few meals I can make with confidence. And it’s easy enough that the teenagers have made it as well!
We went to Seaside, Oregon, over a mid-winter break in 2017 and were lucky enough to stay in a condo! Since we had the kids with us, we opted for a meal plan before going,g and took our Instant Pot with us.
I am still trying to figure mine out, so I was excited about the in-person demonstrations to suck up her Instant Pot knowledge. Don’t worry. We made other recipes I can’t wait to share with you, either! Eating in the condo saved us so much money!
Easy Instant Pot Pasta And Meatballs Ingredients:
**Note use rotini or penne. The spaghetti noodles won’t work due to their thinness and shape.**
**Note you can half this to fit in a smaller Instant Pot this was made in a large instant pot.**

How To Make Instant Pot Pasta And Meatballs:
Put a splash of water in the inner liner pot and turn the Instant Pot onto saute. We made this dinner in her 8-quart Instant Pot (you can see it ->here on Amazon). I have the 6 Quart Instant Pot, but this amount won’t fit in mine, so we used her. However, I will be doing this as halved in mine.
**Instant Pot hack – I learned if you flip it to saute right away it warms up the inner liner to lower the amount of warm-up time for cooking the food**

We served ours with the kid’s favorite canned green beans and a loaf of garlic bread. It was quick and easy and cheaper than taking the kids all out to eat!
