Notes
I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1. You can make this in your 3 or 8 quart pot with no changes. To make in the slow cooker: add water, meatballs, pasta, pasta sauce and Italian seasoning to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until pasta is cooked through. Add in cheeses and basil and stir.
