Instructions
Press sauté
When hot, add Italian sausage, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned.
Drain grease from Italian sausage and return to the inner pot. Sprinkle with salt.
Add the onion, and cook, stirring regularly, until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook, stirring regularly, for 30 seconds.
Pour in the wine and scrape up any browned bits.
Press cancel.
Add the spaghetti sauce, noodles, and water.
Close and lock the lid.
Turn the pressure release valve to sealing.
Press manual high pressure and adjust the cooking time to 5 minutes.
When cooking time finishes, carefully turn the pressure release valve to venting to quickly release the pressure.
Unlock and remove the lid.
Give the spaghetti a good stir. If the noodles aren't as soft as you would like, cover and let the spaghetti sit for a few minutes.

Notes
Sausage:
Hot or mild Italian sausage. You can use ground turkey or ground beef if you prefer.
Wine:
If you don't want to use wine, you can substitute an equal amount of beef or chicken broth.
I pour the water into the spaghetti sauce jar and shake it to get all of the sauce out of the jar.
Pick a good sauce with a lot of flavor as this will be where you spaghetti gets its flavor. I like to use a roasted garlic herb spaghetti sauce.
