Recipe Variations:
Homemade Meatballs: prepare homemade meatball, but to cook, use the instant pot, on sauté setting, brown them lightly on all sides, in a little oil. You don’t need to cook them all the way through. Continue with recipes steps as instructed, adding uncooked pasta, sauces, spices and water on top, and cooking at high pressure. Spicy: use crushed fire roasted tomatoes instead of the crushed tomatoes, and add a dash of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce. Veggies: Stir in fresh spinach at the end.
