You first need to turn the Instant Pot to the Saute setting. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, onion, and ground beef once it is hot.
Cook this until the ground beef has browned, then drain the fat.
Add in your noodles, water, Italian seasoning, bay leaves, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and soy sauce.
Move the Instant Pot function to "Manual" and cook on high pressure for four minutes.
Quick release the pressure once the time is up. Take out the bay leaves and stir everything together.
Top with Parmesan Cheese if you want and then serve.
