Making spaghetti in the Ninja Foodi Possible Cooker Pro couldn’t be easier! And…you can make everything all in one pot! I’ll show you how to make delicious, super easy to make, one pot spaghetti (or any long pasta) using the Ninja Foodi Possible Cooker Pro. It only uses 3 ingredients!!
Making spaghetti isn’t hard. It’s even easier to make if you use jarred sauce. That’s right…I used jarred spaghetti sauce for this recipe. You can take the extra steps to make your own sauce if you would like. This is more of a guide on how to use the Possible Cooker to make pasta with meat sauce than it is an actual recipe, since I used jarred sauce.
This recipe was made using the Ninja® Foodi® PossibleCooker™ PRO.
We eat “spaghetti” all the time. But, we rarely actually use the “spaghetti” pasta. We usually use fettuccini, but the idea is the same. We are making a tomato based, meat sauce, with long pasta. For this cooking method, I made everything all together in one pot. I know, I know…it’s not the traditional “Italian” spaghetti. But, I promise you it’s super delicious! Honestly, I prefer one pot spaghetti over the traditional spaghetti pasta that you top with the sauce. Cooking everything together adds extra flavor to the pasta and makes the entire meal saucy.
You can use any type of long pasta that you would like for this recipe. The thicker the pasta, the longer you will need to cook it. The thinner the pasta, the shorter time it will need to cook.
For this recipe, you can easily increase or decrease the number of servings. Simply increase or decrease the amount of ingredients but keep the cooking time the same.
Tips for making Ninja Foodi Possible Cooker Spaghetti:
To add more flavor, you can use beef broth instead of water, add garlic powder or minced garlic and add Italian seasonings or crushed red pepper.
Traditionally, spaghetti is made with thin, long pasta. But, you can also use fettucine, linguine, angel hair, or tagliatelle. The cooking times will vary based on the thickness of the pasta.
Fresh and homemade pasta cooks very quickly and does not cook at the same rate as dried pasta. If you choose to use dried or homemade pasta, the amount of water added to the recipe and the cooking time will need to be decreased.
It depends on where you are from. If you are from the East coast, or an area that has a strong Italian influence, it’s more likely that you call it gravy instead of sauce.
Yes, you can make this recipe without the meat. Just skip the first couple of steps that call for adding and browning the ground meat.
Ingredients to Make Ninja Foodi Possible Cooker Pro Spaghetti:
Ingredient substitutions for making Ninja Foodi Possible Cooker Spaghetti:
The full ingredient list is found at the bottom of the post in the recipe card.
Ground Beef- Use lean ground beef. The higher the fat content, the more likely it is that you will need to remove the extra fat from the pot. Since this is a one pot recipe, using leaner ground meat makes it easier to make everything all in one pot without having to take extra steps to remove the fat. You can use ground pork or ground chicken. Just be sure to keep an eye on the meat and adjust the cooking times as needed.
Spaghetti Sauce-Use your favorite jarred sauce or your own homemade version. Any sauce will work with this recipe.
Pasta-This recipe was made using dried fettucine but you can use any dried long pasta that you would like. Traditional spaghetti is made with spaghetti and not fettucine, as I used. The thinner the pasta, the less time it will take to cook. The thicker the pasta, the longer it will take to cook. Keep an eye on the pasta to ensure that it is cooked properly before removing from the Possible Cooker pot.
Directions for making Ninja Foodi Possible Cooker Spaghetti:
- Turn the Ninja Foodi Possible Pot Pro on SEAR/SAUTE HIGH and add the ground beef to the pot. Sear for 10 minutes. During that 10 minutes, stir the ground beef and break it into smaller pieces. Brown evenly on all sides.
- Pour in the jarred spaghetti sauce.
- Pour in the water.
- Add the long pasta. Do so by adding small amounts at a time and rotating directions creating a crisscross effect with the pasta.
- Put the lid on the Possible Cooker and continue to sear for about 2-3 minutes and then stir the pasta in with the sauce. The first stir is to make sure the pasta does not stick together. You’ll need to stir it well enough to separate any pasta that has started to stick to the rest of the pasta. Continue to cook for up to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Thicker pasta like linguine will take a few minutes longer to cook than thinner pasta like spaghetti or angel hair pasta.
- The spaghetti is finished cooking when the pasta is tender. Serve with garlic bread. Enjoy!

Can You Use Generic or Knock-Off Ninja Creami Containers?
This question comes up constantly in the Ninja Creami community. Can you use generic or knock-off containers? Here’s the honest answer, along with what I found when I actually measured them myself and where to find the real ones. Can you use generic or knock-off Ninja Creami containers? Technically, yes. Generic containers CAN work. But they can also cause the containers to get scratched, or cause the machine to malfunction. And using non-Ninja approved accessories can void your warranty. So yes, you can use knock-offs. But at your own risk. Many people swear that their Temu or Amazon third-party containers […]

Can You Use Ice in the Ninja Creami?

No. You cannot put ice cubes or crushed ice into the Ninja Creami container. Pure water frozen alone is essentially ice and has the same problem.
