- Add Sauce and Tomatoes: Pour the spaghetti sauce evenly over the noodles. If desired, add the can of diced tomatoes on top of the spaghetti sauce.

Place the lid on the Air Pot, turn the valve to sealing, and press the Pressure Cook button. Set the cooking time for 5 minutes.
- Natural Release and Quick Release: When the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to naturally release for 5 minutes. Then, perform a quick release until the pin drops.
