Make a delicious batch of spaghetti with this Ninja Foodi Spaghetti, it’s all made in one-pot and easy to make gluten-free too!
Spaghetti is just a classic go-to meal for dinner, but it’s made even better when you make it into a Ninja Foodi Recipe with this Ninja Foodi Spaghetti.
Tips for Making Ninja Foodi Spaghetti:
This recipe will be using both the saute function of the Ninja Foodi and the pressure cooker function. The first step will be browning the ground beef and onion using the saute function, once that is done the rest of the process will be using the pressure cooker function.
A few quick tips when cooking pasta in the Ninja Foodi, it’s best to be sure the pasta is under the liquid; however, you do not want to stir it in. Simply cover the pasta with water and secure the lid.
Once you are done with the cooking time, this does need to be quickly released, meaning you immediately move the nozzle to vent to get all the pressure out. Then, you can remove the lid and let it sit to thicken for just a bit before serving.
Can you use a jar of spaghetti sauce?
This particular recipe uses your own sauce basically with crushed tomatoes and diced tomatoes; however, you can use the equivalent amounts of a premade spaghetti sauce as well and it will work just the same.
How do you make Gluten-Free Ninja Foodi Spaghetti?
It can be made gluten-free or traditional with just one swap of pasta. If you need gluten-free, just use gluten-free spaghetti noodles instead.
Can this be made in the Instant Pot?
This spaghetti works interchangeably with the Instant Pot too using the exact same method, so if you have an Instant Pot this can be made in that as well.

Second time trying this recipe and wanted to leave a note, we love it! Super easy to put all of the ingredients in one pot and set to cook for 7 minutes what would take a crockpot all day. Yummo! Great recipe!
Yay! So happy to hear that!!
How much water do you add if you use 2 jars of sauce instead of the homemade version?
I would probably still do the same on water but I’ve also never done it with 2 jars. I’ve done it with 1 and that worked with the water.
I love the flavor of this! I triple the spices and use half a pound of pasta because I like it a little saucier. Two cups of water was perfect. Thank you so much for this recipe it makes meal prep a breeze
Substituted onion power instead of a whole onion and it came out perfect. Thanks for the awesome recipe.
Just got my Ninja foodi and was so excited to try this. So easy and yummy. I did only use 8 oz of spaghetti because I like lots of sauce.
Some changes I would make is:
Adding mushrooms to the saute stage, deglazing with wine, 1/2 cup less water overall, and fresh chopped basil at the end. I would also add some nutritional yeast.
I made a vegan version with the Beyond Meat crumbles.
Overall, love it! Cannot believe how quick and easy this was, and I had a fresh salad while it was cooking.
Definitely going to make this often with the alterations I made.
Thanks for such an easy recipe!
