Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion chopped

  • 2-3 tablespoons minced or chopped garlic

  • 2- 28 oz cans of crushed tomatoes

  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

  • 1-2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

  • ½ cup water

  • potato flakes for thickening, if needed

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1-2 tablespoons parsley

  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Put the olive oil in the InstantPot and switch on the saute' function. When the oil is hot, add in the onions and garlic. Cook only til tender, paying careful attention not to burn the garlic. Switch the IP to off. Add in the cans of crushed tomatoes, rosemary, basil, red pepper flakes, parsley and water.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Close and seal the IP lid and set for 60 minutes. Natural Pressure release when done and TASTE! *Mine was a bit thin so I added 2 tablespoons of potato flakes to thicken. Doing this does NOT produce any potato taste, it just gives it a velvety consistency
  • Finish with the 2 tablespoons of butter for a beautiful shine to the sauce.
