Stir broth, marinara sauce, fennel seeds and cayenne pepper into meat. Stir in spaghetti, making sure spaghetti is covered by liquid. Secure lid and set pressure release to sealing function. Select high pressure and cook for 5 minutes. Press cancel.

Allow pressure to release naturally for 2 minutes. Move pressure release to venting function to release any remaining steam. Remove lid.
