How to make Spaghetti Bolognese in the Ninja Foodi pressure cooker
Hi there friends! One of our favorite, easiest, fastest and tastiest meals to make in the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker method is our Spaghetti bolognese.
What is bolognese? In short- a sauce of ground beef, tomato, onion, and herbs, typically served with pasta. It’s actually a very quick sauce to make and you can use ground sausage in lieu of ground beef. Or perhaps even mix the two together. We have done that before and it’s a real flavor bomb.
So fun to cook with the family! Since I have invested in the Ninja Foodi, it truly has become a family affair. Everyone’s curiosity has gotten the best of them. Considering we are a big foodie family, it really didn’t take too much prompting to get my boys to check it out and teach them how to cook. It doesn’t get any easier than this.
We hope you enjoy our Spaghetti Bolognese in the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker.
There are many variations of this popular Italian dish. We sort of put our own spin on it. I do believe you can do the same. It’s always fun to put a new twist on food to your own liking.
While our son was home from Spring Break, this was a request. That tells you just how good it is. All the comforts of home made simple.
I asked him to join me on a Facebook live cooking episode. It was actually fun and he enjoyed it. Even paid me a little compliment saying after words that I am pretty good at this HA!!~
The spaghetti noodles were cooked to perfection in 6 minutes time. No mush, and perfectly al dente’. Just the way a true noodle should be. One thing our son took note of, is the fact that every ingredient holds the true flavor profile.
PIN it, make it, Enjoy with a bottle of red.
We have made this dish over a dozen times. It’s always fun to change it up, add the capers, don’t add the capers, add black or green olives, etc. You can really get creative with this dish.

Enjoy! Hope to see you back again. See recipe down below.
