How to make Instant Pot Pasta with meatballs:
It’s as easy as that! You can use frozen meatballs or uncooked homemade meatballs. If using uncooked meatballs, brown them in the bottom of the instant pot first, on the sauté setting. You don’t need to cook them all the way through.
I like to add fresh shredded parmesan and crushed red pepper as garnish.
