• Can’t wait to try this! Do you think it would work with gluten free noodles? If so, how would you calculate how long to cook?

    1. Hi Lyn! Unfortunately, I’ve never tried this recipe using gluten free noodles, so I can’t say for certain. I’d recommend cooking according to the recipe, then you can always add time if needed. I hope you enjoy it!

    2. Hi Lyn, did you ever try using the gluten free noodles? Another reader was asking so was curious if you gave it a try? Thank you for your time!

  • Sounds delicious. I was thinking of following the recipe up to the point of adding the spaghetti and water, but freezing the meat sauce. Then when ready to make it, thaw, put in pot, add spaghetti with water, then pressure cook. Do you think this would work?

    1. Hi Barb! I haven’t tested it out this way so it would be hard for me to advise. If you decide to experiment, let me know how it goes!

  • Putting this on the menu this week. Quick question: what do you mean by placing the spaghetti in two layers??

    1. Hi Alice! That just means to put one layer of noodles on top of the other. Highly recommend watching the video as it gives a great visual of what I mean! Hope you enjoy it!

    1. Hi Marilyn! It’s the #10th ingredient in the recipe card. Could you please check again, I am seeing it on my end. Thanks!

    1. Hi Amy! I’ve only tested the recipe as written so I wouldn’t be able to advise. If you decide to experiment, let me know how it goes!

  • You make me feel like a better mom! Thanks for the healthy recipes that my family likes. I didn’t have thawed meat so I did everything as written except did not add any meat. Super easy, tasty, and fast.5 stars

  • Delicious! Tasted just like our usual spaghetti but saved big time on the dishes. Added an onion and a green pepper to saute in the instant pot just before adding the meat. Omitted the onion powder because I added an onion. Used Italian sausage. Pocketing this recipe!5 stars

  • I made this recipe tonight using ground bison , exactly as written and it was fantastic. It came together quickly and had so much flavor! My husband, who doesn’t love kale, raved about it, went back for seconds and never mentioned the kale. We have enough for another night and I know we will enjoy the leftovers. The house smells so good!
    Thank you, Erin, for another one of your health concious, and delicious recipes. Every one I’ve tried has been a winner and “keeper”.5 stars

  • Great recipe, very good directions about how to add ingredients. Like addition of the greens in this, I didn’t use any oil to saute meat and was fine. I did cut back on pasta to 6 ounces of a thicker type of spaghetti called bucatini, (as I was out of regular spaghetti and didn’t want to risk angel hair thinking it may get too well done)–and it was fine, liquid well absorbed and I did use the two cups water as suggested. Timing 8 minutes perfect. Easy and will make again. A favorite.5 stars

  • I cannot remember the first time I made this, but I can tell you I make it so often that I do not even need to look at the recipe any longer. My son and husband say it is the best spaghetti they have ever tasted…every time I serve it. ;) It is super quick, which is great for week nights or a last minute dinner. :)5 stars

  • This recipe is delicious and ready in less than an hour. It’s filling and tastes restaurant quality, but fits in with the constrained cooking times of a busy lifestyle. Thanks for this recipe Eren!5 stars

  • So delicious and easy to make! Will be making again. I used thin spaghetti noodles and those turned out fine as well.5 stars

  • Erin! Came here to say I’m obsessed with this recipe and make it ALL THE TIME! If you ever adapt this to a 30-minute stovetop version (in case someone is ever away/without their instant pot!) with the same incredible flavor, I would be first in line to make that version, too :). Thanks so much for your amazing, healthy recipes!5 stars

  • If I don’t have whole wheat spaghetti just regular, will that affect the cooking time!? Hoping to try this tomorrow night!

  • Alright, this is the ONLY way I am making spaghetti from now on! It is SO FLIPPING DELICIOUS! I didn’t have any kale on hand, so I used spinach (adding it at the end when stirring in Parmesan). The spices/seasonings are on point and make for amazing flavour. Highly recommend this one!5 stars

    1. Hi Jennifer, I haven’t tried it but I think you could easily double it. It shouldn’t affect the cook time. If you decide to experiment, I’d love to know how it goes!

  • I gave this a 9000/10 and my husband gave it a 10/10! The flavor was so good and the recipe was so simple. I’ll definitely be making this many times in the future. Some of my noodles were a little stuck together, but other than that, I highly recommend!5 stars
