Description
If you want the flavor of a sauce that’s simmered on the stove all day in a fraction of the time, you need to try this Instant Pot Spaghetti Sauce recipe! It’s super easy and yields the most delicious sauce!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 white onion, minced
- 5 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
- 1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (use vegetable broth for vegan spaghetti sauce)
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
Instructions
- Using the sauté function, heat the oil in the inner pot of your Instant Pot electric pressure cooker.
- Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the crushed garlic and sauté another 2 minutes. Press the cancel button.
- Stir in the whole tomatoes (with their juices), tomato sauce, chicken broth, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and tomato paste. Stir well to combine.*
- Cook on high pressure for 25 minutes, and then let the pressure release naturally.
- Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a large blender and blend to the desired consistency. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Notes
*Be sure the tomato paste is well blended with the mixture and there is none sticking to the bottom of the inner pot. This will help avoid getting a “burn notice” on your Instant Pot. Another option is to allow the tomato paste to rest on top of the mixture and stir it in after the cooking time.
