    I love my Instant Pot. I make spaghetti in mine all of the time. No meat though.
    I have seven different cans of dry shampoo and texturing sprays and powders in my vanity. I love that stuff.

    1 4 lb chicken
    1 butternut squash
    1 4 oz bottle of Thai red curry paste (Thai Kitchen brand)

    One can of coconut milk

    One bunch of cilantro

    Place the whole chicken in the pot. Cooking the chicken with the bone in makes the soup taste better. No reason to add chicken broth doing it this way.

    Chop up the stems of cilantro. reserved the leaves for garnish. Throw the chopped stems on to the chicken.

    Peel, cube (bite size roughly) and remove the seeds from the butternut squash. Throw the chunks on top of the chicken.

    Use the entire bottle of Thai red curry paste. I usually use the Thai kitchen brand. You can get it at H-E-B grocery. Just dump it in.

    Pour in the whole can of coconut milk.

    Fill the pot up with water to reach all of the butternut squash

    Cook on high pressure for 45 minutes.

    Remove the chicken and shred the meat off the bones.

    Place the chicken meat back in the soup

    Add salt to taste and enjoy!

    Super simple recipe

    Typically when I make spaghetti in my pressure cooker. I will brown off the meat. Pouring one cup of water. Break the noodles in half. Scatter them on top of the meat. Pour the sauce on top of the noodles. Cook for 10 minutes. That way the water steams the noodles and prevents the sauce and meat from burning. The sauce will melt down through the noodles and cook them thoroughly. Thanks for posting these videos.

    I love that you use ingredients normal people use. I look for recipes all the time and It's like, harvest vanilla beans and make your own extract. Average people don't have gardens (nothing against gardens) so I really appreciate your approach.

    I’ve been scared to do spaghetti in my electric pressure cooker. This week I made a recipe called chicken and noodles in my pressure cooker that used these frozen noodles by Reames. It was so yummy and simple.

    who won the coutori probably misspelled I watch everyone of your videos and I never saw who won, you should use both you pressure cookers at you tiny home. Thank you so much I enjoy your videos and I was also going to tell you, you should maybe add a little more water when you put in the extra can of tomato sauce and it probably won't stick I have a Teflon coated its one of those hard coated it is a cusinart and it looks like yours and it has most of the same thing on it. I also make northen beans an hamhock or ham steak in with it . you can use any kind of dried bean with it and you just add water as much as you want. Thanks again.

    Your BBQ will come in handy for your Tiny House. Your IP meals looked great! Today was my first day with our new Sous Vide (SV), Anova brand, cooker. I cooked meat, pork chops and steaks then seared them. They have veggie recipes too. My hubby and I agreed it was the best meat we've ever eaten! I've heard how great it was but I seriously doubted it would be so good. Also,​ our house stayed cooler 🙂 Since the weather is so hot my kitchen gadgets are necessary. I also use my IP for veggies and other meals. We live in a very tiny house too though it's just the 2 of us unless we have company. We end up outside if we get a lot of company. We've had up to 10 people over for dinner and did just fine.

    You need more liquid in the spaghetti recipe – either some water or a lot more sauce. My favorite meals in the crockpot are bratwurst, sauerkraut, and potato casserole & I have a corn chowder recipe that’s delicious!

    Thank you so much for the spaghetti recipe I am new to the instapot world and I needed something for spaghetti I have burned my noodles so many times in the instapot if you have one on just cooking the noodles by themselves because that's the way my family likes their spaghetti that would be wonderful also I'm trying to get it for macaroni and cheese

    Oh I needed these recipes … I'm struggling a bit with my instant pot, these sound yummy and I'm definitely going to try following your video's. Do you think if you had added a bit of water with the sauce it may not have burned to the bottom, just a thought. Thanks for sharing with us.

    FYI, the spaghetti recipe calls for 2 cups of water. I didn’t see this get added which may be why it was difficulty to submerge the pasta & why it burned. I make spaghetti in my IP all the time but have to use water.
