Instant Pot Spaghetti Sauce

Quick, versatile and delicious! Make your own spaghetti sauce right in your instant pot and use it in place of the jarred stuff.

I stopped buying jarred spaghetti sauce a long time ago. It’s packed full of added salt and I was constantly buying large quantities of it. Plus, everyone around here had their own favorite brand..kinda frustrating.

Making it homemade is easier. I control the flavors and texture. Plus, it’s cheaper. I make a big batch when salt free canned tomatoes are on sale and store it in my freezer until we use it.

The Ingredients List:

• Crushed tomatoes
• Diced tomatoes
• Tomato paste
• Minced onion
• Minced garlic
• Dried oregano
• Dried basil
• Salt + Pepper

Can I Use Fresh Tomatoes? Yes. However, you will need to increase your cooking time.

Minced Onion: I use minced onion for this sauce.  It’s just a personal preference. If you don’t want to use the dried version, feel free to add a small diced onion instead. But, again, you will need to increase your cooking time.

Dried Spices: Feel free to adjust to your personal taste.

How to Make:

• Add all ingredients into instant pot and stir lightly to combine.
• Cover and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Do a natural release for 10 minutes, then, do a quick release.
• Let sauce cool for 1 hour, then, puree to desired consistency using a stick blender or food processor.
• Leftovers can be stored in a covered container in refrigerator for a week or in a covered, freezer safe container for a couple of months.
