Report
This easy Instant Pot Marinara sauce is made with fresh tomatoes, basil and parsley for a rich and flavorful sauce for pasta.

Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 pounds tomatoes quartered
- 1 carrot coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Put the Instant Pot on Saute. Let it heat for about 2 minutes. Add the oil and onion and cook, stirring for 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic to the Instant Pot and cook for another 30 seconds. Turn the Instant Pot off.
- Add the water to the pressure cooker to deglaze it. Stir, scraping the bottom of the Instant Pot with a wooden spoon, to make sure no bits of onion or garlic are stuck to the bottom. This reduces the chances of getting a Burn error.
- Add the remaining ingredients - tomatoes, carrot, basil, parsley, and salt if desired.
- Put the lid on the Instant Pot, making sure the seal is in place and vent is closed. Set on Manual, high pressure for 15 minutes. It will take 10-15 minutes for the Instant Pot to reach pressure.
- Once the pressure cooker is done let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Then you can release any remaining pressure quickly.
- Either mash the marinara sauce with a potato masher or use an immersion blender or blender to make the sauce the desired consistency.
Notes
- The consistency and color of the final sauce will be highly dependent on the type of tomatoes used. I like the combination of 1 pound of paste type (Roma or San Marzano) tomatoes with 1 pound of heirloom tomatoes.
- The fresh tomato sauce will probably have an orangish color - this is due to oxidizing the tomatoes when blending them and is nothing to worry about.
- Adding a small (6 ounce) can of tomato paste will make the sauce more red and thicker.
- I make and test my recipes in my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo. If you use another size or brand of pressure cooker you might need to make adjustments to the recipe. I'd expect that you'd need to add more water if using an 8 quart model.
