Instructions

Notes

Variations

    • Add vegetables - I recommend adding in diced zucchini, squash, bell peppers, mushrooms, or fresh spinach for added nutrients and flavors.
    • Type of pasta - While I prefer regular spaghetti or capellini noodles, you can easily use penne, rotini, angel hair, even fettuccine. 
    • Different meat - You can omit the meat all together or use Italian sausage, ground chicken, ground turkey, etc.

Storing - You can store this easy gluten-free spaghetti recipe in the fridge an airtight container for 2-3 days. Make sure your pasta has cooled to room temperature before storing and reheat in the microwave or in the instant pot when you're ready to serve.
