Pressure Cooker Spaghetti Bolognese

Pampered Chef Quick Cooker Spaghetti: you can have Italian night any night of the week with this easy classic Spaghetti Bolognese recipe in the Quick Cooker!

I am always on the hunt for a new quick weeknight dinner recipe that the whole family will enjoy. 

So when Pampered Chef reached out about their new Pampered Chef Quick Cooker, I was super excited to try it out.

The recent surge in popularity of electric pressure cookers has really helped get dinner on the table with a lot less effort on our parts! 

This recipe for Spaghetti Bolognese in the Pampered Chef Quick Cooker, only takes about 15 minutes of work. 

Plus, everything is cooked in the Quick Cooker, making clean up a breeze too! 

This Spaghetti Bolognese is perfectly seasoned and classically flavored, making the whole family happy. 

If your kiddos don’t like meat in their spaghetti, you can absolutely skip it and the recipe will turn out just as great. 

To keep the best flavor possible, you will want to make sure you pick out a good jar of spaghetti sauce. 

I always look for one that has zero sugar added to it and does not have basil listed as a flavor on the front. 

A lot of times the spaghetti sauces labeled with basil will be too sweet in flavor. 

The Pampered Chef Quick Cooker & Accessories Set is an amazing compact electric pressure cooker that has all the tools you need to pressure cook amazing meals and desserts in less time than you ever imagined. 

It even comes with an accessories set that includes a springform pan, ceramic pot, and one wire cradle. I can’t wait to try to make a cheesecake! 

It was very easy for me to open, set up and get started on testing some of the recipes that came in the cookbook with the Quick Cooker.

It’s a wonderful tool for those ‘set it and forget it’ type of weeknight meals that all us busy mamas out there love. 

You can start dinner and then go help the kids with homework or do the laundry. You do not have to babysit dinner while doing 100 other things. #MomWin

Pampered Chef was founded on the belief that quick tips and powerful tools can fuel a faster, no-fuss cooking experiment and this Quick Cooker 100% shows that!

For this Spaghetti Bolognese recipe, you have about 15 minutes of work before you set the Quick Cooker and walk away until it’s all done cooking!

We start with sautéing our onion for just a few minutes until it begins to turn translucent and soften. 

Then we add our fresh garlic, seasonings and ground meat (optional!) and cook until it’s nice and browned. 

Then we simply add everything else, including the dry spaghetti, to the Quick Cooker and turn it on! It’s that easy!
