Add your 24 oz jar of pasta sauce and stir in with the cooked meat.
Add in your pasta evenly across the sauce and meat mixture and press into the sauce.
In your leftover sauce jar, add one cup of water and shake to get out the remaining sauce.
Pour water evenly over your pasta. Push pasta down into water and sauce mixture once again. Pasta should be JUST covered.
Set your instant pot to manual HIGH pressure for 8 minutes.
Once cooking is complete, use a quick release.

Notes

Ratio is 24 oz pasta sauce plus 1 cup water to 12 oz dried pasta.
If pasta is not covered slightly with water after 1 cup is added, add more until it is.
If you are using a spaghetti noodle, break in half before adding to meat and sauce mixture.
