In reply to Pat. Hi Pat - I haven't tried them, but my guess is they would work well as a substitute in this recipe with no changes. Let me know if you give it a try.

Hi Barbara…like many people for whatever personal reasons, I have embraced the new Beyond Meat and Impossible Burger plant based products. Do you think the recipe as it is written would be suitable to replace the traditional meat balls with the Beyondmeat Italian style plant based frozen meat balls ? I would really like to try this recipe using this alternative product but I’m concerned the meatballs might lose their integrity and turn to mush under pressure. Or should I modify the time under pressure? Thanks very much

How would you make a half recipe – how much liquid would be needed for 8 oz spaghetti? Thank you!

In reply to Sm. Yes, you can make it in a 3 quart electric pressure cooker, you'll just need to divide the recipe in half and use the same cooktime. Enjoy!

How can I make this in a 3 quart electric pressure cooker (Cooks Essential )?

In reply to Barbara Schieving. Thanks. I took your suggestion. Sautéed separately, stirred into cooked spaghetti. I added in the rest of the meatballs (cooked) from the package too. next time going to sliver and sauté some zucchini and add that at the end, too. Sneak in that veggie!

In reply to Karen. Hi Karen - I like my mushrooms sauteed in butter until they're tender and then stirred in at the end, not pressure cooking them. But if you wanted to skip sauteing them and pressure cook them, I would add them on top of the spaghetti.

I’d like to add mushrooms. Would you sauté separately to remove water? Where in the layering would you suggest?

Love this I.P. recipe . I make my own meatballs and freeze them. This is perfect, fast and makes a nice meal. My husband likes the “little” soupy sauce. 🙂 Great for leftovers too! I would like to know the brand or type of breadsticks you are serving. That makes a big difference too. Thanks again!
