The instant pot pasta recipe was supposed to be literally “toss ingredients in, press button, wait”
That is the fantasy that most kitchen gadgets try to sell themselves with, yeah. But it really is hard to beat just how easy it is to boil stuff. Sauteing is also very easy, though cleaning up after takes at least a little effort.
Instapot spaghetti is actually quite good - you keep all the liquid so you don't lose the gluten (?) that usually comes out of the pasta. What this does is make the sauce and entire dish super creamy. It's different than boiling, and it's worth trying.

hmm... Maybe next time (if there is a next time) just do the pasta first. Once that's done add the sauce?
