From Scratch Spaghetti Recipe
This spaghetti sauce was one of the first recipes that my mom taught me how to make. I was a teenager so naturally I was all, “awe mom, why can’t we just buy sauce in the jar like normal people?”
As an adult, I had to rack her brain to get me the recipe. And with most good recipes, there’s no written recipe. It goes like this: “you add some of this, a pinch of that, bring to a boil and simmer… and voila!”
We finally got the recipe down during our first years of marriage and now I understand how easy it is to just add this, a pinch of that, a cup of this and voila!
Make this recipe even easier by using your instant pot!

In your Instant Pot, simply brown your hamburger using the saute button. Once cooked through, add all of your ingredients, put the cover on and use the soup button. Cook up some spaghetti noodles and just like that you’ve got yourself Homemade Spaghetti Sauce! Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy!
