Notes
- It's ok if your spaghetti ended up in big clumps. Simply use 2 forks to tear them apart, the spaghetti will still be cooked through.
- If you don’t want to use red wine, substitute it with beef broth!
- You can omit the ground beef to keep this recipe vegetarian.
- You might be thinking, why is there sugar in this? It's important to balance the flavors of the dish and to cut through the acidity of the tomatoes!
- When you first open the instant pot, it may seem like there's too much sauce, just stir everything together well to incorporate all the liquid.
- Always make sure to read the manufacturer's guide for detailed instructions on how to use your instant pot.
- Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. Make sure to refrigerate after eating because bacteria will start to grow.
