Instant Pot Meatballs

Combine all the meatball ingredients in a large bowl and mix by hand until just combined.Pour the jar of sauce into the Instant Pot. Pour the cup of water into the tomato sauce jar, put the lid on, and shake to get the last bits of sauce loosened, and then pour the saucy water into the Instant Pot as well. Stir.Push “Saute” and adjust the heat to “Less”.While the sauce comes to a simmer, divide the meatball mixture into 16-18 balls. I like to use an ice cream scoop to portion the dough and then roll each meatball a bit by hand to make it more round. As you make the meatballs, place them on a baking sheet (lined with parchment for easy cleanup if desired).Press “Keep Warm/Cancel”. Gently place each meatball in the hot sauce. A few meatballs will not be totally submerged, which is fine. Carefully use a ladle or spoon to put a little bit of sauce on top of the exposed meatballs. Put the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to “Sealing”. Press “Manual” and adjust the time to 5 minutes. Once high pressure is reached, which takes about 15 minutes, the Instant Pot will begin counting down from 5 minutes.Once the cooking time is up (you’ll hear the Instant Pot beep), press “Keep Warm/Cancel” and allow the pressure to release naturally for ten minutes, then carefully move the valve to “venting” and release any remaining pressure. For a thicker sauce, remove the meatballs with a slotted spoon, press "Saute", and let the sauce simmer to reduce for 5-10 minutes. Once the sauce is reduced to your liking, add the meatballs back in. Sprinkle with parsley or basil and serve hot with spaghetti squash noodles or zoodles if desired**.
