Progresso Broth

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb extra-lean (at least 90%) ground beef
2 cups chopped yellow onions
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped peeled carrots
2 cups Progresso® beef broth (from 32-oz carton)
12 oz uncooked spaghetti, broken in half
1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen® organic fire roasted crushed tomatoes, undrained

Steps

1

On 6-quart Instant Pot®, select SAUTE; adjust to normal. Heat oil in insert. Add beef, onions and salt; cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked. Stir in celery and carrots. Select CANCEL.
2

Stir broth into beef mixture.
3

Add spaghetti evenly over beef mixture. Spread tomatoes evenly over spaghetti. Secure lid; set pressure valve to SEALING. Select MANUAL; cook on high pressure 7 minutes. Select CANCEL. Set pressure valve to VENTING to quick-release pressure.
4

Using tongs, immediately lift, and stir mixture 1 to 2 minutes or until pasta is completely separated. Spaghetti will appear to be stuck together but will separate while stirring.

For a pretty (and tasty) finishing touch, sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese and thinly sliced fresh basil leaves.
Try to evenly cover the pasta with the tomatoes. This helps the pasta cook evenly under pressure.
Sprinkle each serving with shredded Parmesan cheese and thinly sliced basil leaves for a pretty (and tasty) finishing touch.
Make sure your pasta is evenly covered with tomatoes. This helps the pasta to cook consistently under pressure, so you don’t end up with any over- or undercooked noodles.
Serve spaghetti with a garden salad and Pillsbury™ French bread on the side for a filling meal.
