BOLOGNESE MEAT SAUCE IN INSTANT POT®

Bolognese Meat Sauce in Instant Pot® image

Traditional Italian meat sauce (ragu) prepared in an Instant Pot®. When cooking in an Instant Pot®, the amount of liquid is minimal, so there is no additional water or broth required for this recipe. The final consistency is thick enough to toss with pasta, not too runny. Cooks much faster than traditional stovetop version! Just toss with pasta and serve.

Add passata, tomato paste, salt, and pepper.
Close and lock the lid. Set Instant Pot® on Pressure Cook function; select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions. Set timer for 1 hour. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
