👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Add the olive oil to the Instant Pot. Turn the pot to sauté and add the Italian Sausage. Brown the sausage, breaking it up as you go. Halfway through the browning process, add the onion and continue cooking until the sausage is browned and the onions are soft.
2. 2Turn the Instant Pot off and add the garlic, marjoram, thyme, and crushed red pepper. Continue cooking on residual heat, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
3. 3Pour in 1¼ cups of water. Break the spaghetti in half and place it in the pot, crisscrossing the pasta as seen in the picture. Pour in 1¼ cups of water and the marinara sauce, making sure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
4. 4Cook on high pressure for 7 minutes. When it is done, use the quick-release valve and open the Instant Pot. Stir the pasta to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For best results, serve promptly.
