This is an excellent quick weeknight meal. The half sized spaghetti noodles fit nicely in the Instant Pot. I add mushrooms and olives too! Thank you for figuring out how to make this meal foolproof! Very Tasty!

In reply to Mariaelena.

Since we like our spaghetti sauce more on the chunky side, I added more onion, garlic and a little diced green bell pepper. I used chicken broth.
I have an 8 quart Instant Pot that I've used a lot. At least 2 to 5 times a week for about a year. I've never had a burn notice. I don't know if some Instant Pots are more sensitive to this than others. I'm always very careful to completely de-glaze the bottom of my pot. Not sure why so many people have this problem.
My spaghetti was really good.
TY for the recipe.

In reply to Robin M Ferretti. Hi Robin! I am sorry you had that issue, but actually since you shared that pressure was not reached but nearly cooked, it sounds like your lid may not have been sealed well--maybe sealing ring loose or vent knob open). In my experience, Angel Hair is not easily cooked in the instant pot. It tends to really stick together and it may have stuck to the bottom of the pot, which as you stated, if your lid was sealed, that may have caused the burn notice.

Made your IP Spaghetti recipe. Browned grd beef, removed then deglazed pot, wiping it dry. I like ANGEL HAIR pasta so used that and all other ingredients like you directed (except was going to do a 4min cook & 4min release). Before it came to pressure I got the BURN notice. After 2nd beep, opened the lid and stirred. A lot was stuck to bottom but not burned. (It was almost done and hadn't even pressure sealed). Restarted for 2 mins but Burn beeped again just after it sealed. Cancelled, QR, mixed & it was done. More stuck to bottom & very creamy. It tasted good & didn't lose too much on the bottom. I just watched the BURN VIDEO & think I should have cleaned the pot better after the meat saute---or Angel Hair may have been the issue.

I made this recipe and used 16 ounces of penne pasta. It was so easy and very flavorful. I'll definitely make it again!

In reply to Karen Kuntz. Hi Karen! I am glad you enjoyed the spagehtti. As for a burn notice, it may not have been a liquid issue. It may be that there were browned bits on not fully scraped up, or if you mixed in the tomato sauce. If you did those things, add in 1/4-1/2 cup more liquid in the future. That said, the 8 quart is notorious for showing a burn warning and still cooking fully. It is much more sensitive. I have a video here explaining why a burn notice may happen and what to do when it does. When a burn notice occurs, give your pot a minute to see if it persists (sometimes it disappears), if so, hit cancel and give your instant pot a few minutes to cool down. Scrape off the bottom and add in more thin liquid and restart recipe if more cook time is needed.

Hi Kristen. My question is more of an equipment one. I made this last night and it was a success, so thank you! However, before the cooking time was over, my IP displayed the BURN error. Obviously, I need to add more liquid to my 8 qt pot for this recipe, but my question is what action do I take when this is displayed. I hit cancel, waited until the pressure dropped so I could open the pot and was relieved that, in this instance, the noodles on the bottom of the pot were a tiny bit scorched, but otherwise everything was fine. Is that the proper response when one sees the BURN error? My little instruction booklet didn't have an error section. Thank you for your recipes and your help!

In reply to Letty Crocker. Hi Letty! First, I am so glad I helped you feel more confident using your instant pot. As for this recipe. Beef broth will work :) I would cut the broth to 3 cups and the sauce to 18 ounces. I hope you enjoy!

This looks great. A few questions: Would unsalted beef broth work in place of chicken or vegetable broth? I only have 12 ounces of pasta. Should I decrease the broth and sauce as well? How about the cooking time? Thanks for all your wonderful recipes! My instant pot terrified me until I found you!
