Instructions
Prepare the Instant Pot by turning it on and hitting the saute button. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil in the bottom to coat the pan. It's ready when the HOT message is displayed.
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together except for the crushed tomato.
Form meatballs place on a sheet pan.
Drop one by one into the pot. It's okay for the meatballs to touch. They will not stick together! Add 3 cups tomato, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cover securely and check be sure that the steam valve is in the closed position.
Set your Instant Pot to Low Pressure for 10 minutes. Let the steam release naturally.
Next, once all the steam has released, unlock the lid and test the seasoning. Add more salt and pepper as needed.
Test for doneness by cutting into a meatball to check if it's cooked to your liking. If they aren't ready, cook for another 5 minutes on Low Pressure and test again.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve with your choice of spaghetti, rice, zucchini noodles or alone with a side of tossed garden salad.
