Step 1

Set your pressure cooker to SAUTE. Drizzle with oil, then add the ground beef and saute 4-5 minutes, breaking beef into pieces as it cooks, until browned.

Step 2

Stir in Italian seasoning and garlic for 1 minute longer. Transfer ground beef to a bowl and cover tightly to keep warm.

Step 3

Add marinara, water, broth, noodles, onion powder, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the pot and give it a good stir.

Step 4

Place the lid on the pot and slide it into the locked position and turn the vent valve to the sealed position.

Step 5

Set to PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL for 8 minutes.

Step 6

Do a QUICK RELEASE (immediately turn the vent valve to VENT position) and remove the lid once the float valve drops.

Step 7

Stir in ground beef and mozzarella cheese. Once cheese is melted and incorporated, add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley, basil, or thyme if desired and serve.
