Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1/2 pound ground beef (we use lean)
  • 1/2 pound Italian sausage (casings removed)
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper (to taste)
  • 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons basil (we use 2 teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon garlic powder (we use 1 teaspoon)
  • 1/2 to 2 teaspoons parsley ( fresh parsley)
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (I always add a bit to tomato based recipes)
  • 1 can (28 ounce) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons tomato paste (I like using 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 cup water
  • 8 ounces dry spaghetti pasta
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Use the saute setting, heat oil add ground beef and sausage, season with salt and pepper

  • Step 2: Stir and break up meat and brown well, drain off grease

  • Step 3: Add onion saute until translucent about 2 – 3 minutes

  • Step 4: All garlic, seasonings, and red wine vinegar and turn pot off

  • Step 5: Break spaghetti noodles in half and place on top of meat mixture, criss crossing noodles so they don’t clump together

  • Step 6: In a bowl stir together the tomatoes, tomato paste and the water, pour over the noodles pushing down with a spoon so they are submerged

  • Step 7: Seal lid (original recipe calls for manual mode, high pressure 5minutes cooking time then a quick release) I use the pasta setting on mine, I always place a towel above the quick release spout to catch the steam

  • Step 8: Open lid and gently do a stir, serve in your favourite pasta bowl

  • Step 9: I like to offer shredded Parmesan, crushed red pepper flakes, snipped parsley and surprisingly love topping mine off with halved ripe red cherry tomatoes
