Instant Pot Spaghetti

Recipe By: Sweet & Savory Meals

Rating: 5 out of 20 votes

Serve with salad and simple vinaigrette (double for later in the week).

Tip: Don’t skimp on the herbs. I thought it was a lot when I first made it, but it’s perfect! I opt for Bionaturae’s gluten free penne pasta. It actually tastes and feels like pasta and doesn’t make me feel like garbage after I eat.

It took me a LONG time to find this recipe, so I don’t have an alternative if you don’t have an IP. Make your usual spaghetti - just make sure to include meat for protein .


Chicken, Green Beans & Bacon

Serve with nada… this is it! It’s not really saucy enough for rice, and I usually just don’t want to bother with potatoes. I do double (maybe even triple) the green beans and all parts of the sauce that the recipe calls for, and my family doesn’t miss a starch at all.

And oh yeah… make all the bacon. I love it, I tell ya!


Smoked Sausage

Recipe By: ME

Rating: 5 stars from me because this is a simple, quick meal

Serve with roasted potatoes and frozen veggies (boiled with butter and sea salt).

No, I don’t usually cook these on the grill, but you totally could if that’s easier for you. Just get your potatoes roasting, start your sausages with about 10-15 min left, then cook your veg. Easy peasy. Roasted Potatoes recipe below.

Serve with rice and salad with simple vinaigrette.

This recipe is SO easy, and my family LOVES it. The recipe calls for extra hot horseradish. I get regular horseradish and it’s not spicy. Just creamy and delicious. It also calls for vegetable oil, which is a BIG no-no for your health. That’s a story for another day, but for now use EVOO or avocado oil instead.


Beef Tips & Gravy

Serve with mashed potatoes and roasted carrots.

As an NTP I can’t in good conscience suggest you use the recipe’s suggested condensed French onion soup with its terrible ingredients. The good news it’s incredibly delicious with 1/4 cup of this DIY mix and double the beef broth. This is a family fav.
