Best Bolognese Meat Sauce In Instant Pot Recipes

INSTANT POT BOLOGNESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Turn your Instant Pot on to "Saute", then add olive oil to the pot. Add the beef, Italian sausage, and pancetta and cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain if needed, then return to pot.
• Add onion, carrot and celery and cook for 4 more minutes, or until softened. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon as the onions, carrots and celery cook and give off liquid.
• Add garlic and cook, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in red wine and cook, stirring often, until reduced, about 2 minutes.
• Add all remaining ingredients (except for heavy cream and basil) and stir, scraping the bottom of the pot to ensure no browned bits remain.
• Cancel the saute function, and secure Instant Pot lid, making sure the valve is set to "sealing". Press the Pressure Cook or Manual button and use the +/- buttons to set the timer for 20 minutes.
• Once the timer beeps, let out the pressure by carefully moving the valve to "venting" to perform a quick release. When the pin drops, remove lid and set aside.
• Select "saute" and select LOW. Stir in heavy cream and basil and simmer, uncovered, stirring often, until thickened to desired consistency, about 5-10 minutes.
• Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve over pasta with grated Parmesan cheese and additional chopped basil if desired.

Steps:

• Select Sauté and adjust to More/High heat. When the pot is hot, add the ground beef and pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, 8 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain off the fat.
• Return the pot to the appliance and add the oil. Add the onion, carrot, celery, pancetta, and baking soda and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring continuously, until it begins to brown, 1 minute. Add the vermouth and simmer for 1 minute to burn off some of the alcohol, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Press Cancel.
• Return the meat to the pot and add the tomatoes, broth, cheese rind (if using), and bay leaf. Lock on the lid, select the Pressure Cook function, and adjust to High pressure for 30 minutes. Make sure the steam valve is in the "Sealing" position and that the "Keep Warm" button is off.
• When the cooking time is up, let the pressure come down naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure. Discard the cheese rind and bay leaf. Add the cream (if using), and stir to combine. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper.

Set pressure to high and cook 35 minutes before releasing pressure naturally for 10 minutes. Release pressure automatically. Open lid and return Instant Pot to saute setting. Add heavy cream and stir to combine. Cook until slightly reduced, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper and use as desired.
