I’ve been making pasta sauce at home for years. But this is the first time I made Spaghetti Sauce in my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. And boy is it easy. Don’t believe me? Try it out for yourself.
With the recent pandemic, I find myself making recipes like this pasta sauce and canning them. Properly stored, it can last up to 1 year. Perfect if the grocery stores shelves are empty.

What I love about making spaghetti sauce in my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker is how quick it is to make. Delicious pasta sauce in about 30 minutes from start to finish (not including the canning process if you decide to do that).
Recipe Ideas
If you prefer to have meat in your sauce, simply add it to the pot when you are cooking the onions. Make sure the ground beef or ground turkey is browned before moving on to the next step.
If you want to add a little zing to your sauce, add some crushed red peppers along with the other spices. I love garlic so I often use 4-5 garlic cloves when making this pasta sauce.
