Instant pot spaghetti sauce recipe
Description
The Instant Pot spaghetti sauce recipe combines ground beef and Italian sausage cooked with onion and minced garlic, enhancing the sauce's depth. After browning and draining fat, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, beef broth, and seasonings including bay leaves, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, and black pepper are added. The high-pressure cooking blends these ingredients quickly to create a thick, flavorful meat sauce.
The blend of tomato products and seasonings produces a balanced sauce with a rich tomato foundation, slight sweetness from sugar, and herbal layers from the bay leaves and Italian seasoning. The sausages add a savory meatiness, while the broth helps maintain moisture and mouthfeel.
Once cooked, this sauce pairs well with any pasta shape, making it a versatile base for spaghetti or other pasta dishes.
Leftover sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days or frozen for 2-3 months, allowing convenient meal prep and easy reheating.
