Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
• 1 lb. Lean Ground Beef
• 2 teaspoons That’s Smart! Italian Seasoning
• 1 teaspoon That’s Smart! Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon That’s Smart! Onion Powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon That’s Smart! Black Pepper
• 1 can (24-ounce) That’s Smart! Traditional Pasta Sauce

Method

1. Add the oil to the instant pot and select the sauté function. Cook the ground beef for 6-8 minutes or until cooked through. Add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper and mix to combine.
2. Turn off the sauté function and layer the marinara sauce, macaroni, and water without mixing. Lock the instant pot lid in place, set the vent to Sealed and using the Manual function, select a 5-minute cook time at High Pressure.
3. Once cooking is complete, carefully release the pressure valve to vent the steam. Remove the lid and stir in the ricotta and mozzarella cheeses until combined. Cover until the mozzarella cheese is melted. Garnish with chopped basil.
