I use the Instant Pot DUO60 6 Qt 7-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt Maker and Warmer. It has been a really good investment. I use it at least once a week and it can also be used as a slow cooker and to make yogurt.
Recipe Tips
You can use any jarred spaghetti sauce for this recipe. Whichever is your favorite. I typically use either Ragu or Prego. If you like, you can use Italian sausage instead of ground beef.
Note: I use thin spaghetti for this recipe. If you use regular spaghetti, add a few minutes to the cooking time.

How To Serve
This creamy pasta goes great with a garden salad with Creamy Italian Dressing and some Garlic Bread. Another great side is Marinated Cucumber, Tomato, and Onion Salad.
Storage
Leftovers keep really well. I think it tastes even better the next day. Refrigerate in an airtight container for 4 days and reheat in microwave.

Ingredients
Equipment Instant Pot
Steps
- 1
Lightly grease the insert to your Instant Pot. This is the Instant Pot I use. Turn to "Saute" mode and add ground beef. Cook until browned on bottom, flip over and break it apart to crumble it. Cook until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
- 2
Turn Instant Pot off. Add garlic powder, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, crushed red pepper and tomato paste. Stir to mix into ground beef.
- 3
Break spaghetti in half and add to Instant Pot.
- 4
Pour in water and spaghetti sauce. Make sure all spaghetti is submerged. Place lid on and set to Pressure Cook for 6 minutes.
- 5
Do a quick pressure release. Remove the lid. Add the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese. Stir it in. Place lid back on and let sit for a few minutes to completely melt the cream cheese. Stir again and serve.
Notes
Note: If using regular spaghetti, pressure cook for 8 minutes.
