Ingredients

1 lb extra-lean (at least 90%) ground beef
1/2 cup Progresso™ Italian style panko crispy bread crumbs
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 jar (24.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic tomato basil pasta sauce
2 1/2 cups Progresso™ beef flavored broth (from 32-oz carton)
12 oz uncooked spaghetti, broken in half
Shredded Parmesan cheese, as desired
Shredded fresh basil leaves, as desired

Make With

Progresso Broth

Steps

1

In large bowl, mix beef, bread crumbs, onion, milk, egg, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Shape mixture into 12 (2-inch) meatballs.
2

On 6-quart Instant Pot®, select SAUTE; adjust to normal. Heat oil in insert. Add meatballs; cook 4 to 5 minutes without moving, until meatballs release easily from bottom of insert. Turn; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until browned on second side. Turn one more time; cook 2 to 3 minutes on third side, until browned. Select CANCEL. Using tongs, transfer meatballs to plate.
3

Stir pasta sauce and broth into meatball drippings in insert. Stir mixture to loosen browned bits from bottom of insert. Stir in spaghetti; coat in sauce mixture.
4

Place meatballs evenly over spaghetti mixture. Secure lid; set pressure valve to SEALING. Select MANUAL; cook on high pressure 8 minutes. Select CANCEL. Set pressure valve to VENTING to quick-release pressure.
5

Gently stir mixture 30 to 60 seconds or until spaghetti is completely separated. Spaghetti will appear to be stuck together but will separate while stirring. Let stand 5 minutes. Top with Parmesan and basil.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

tip 1
Be careful not to turn meatballs before they are fully browned. This can cause the tender meatballs to tear.
tip 2
It’s important to use 90% extra-lean ground beef for this recipe to prevent sauce from being too fatty.
