Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Set the pressure cooker to 'Sauté' mode and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, sugar, salt, black pepper, and water. Mix well.
Turn off the 'Sauté' mode and secure the pressure cooker lid. Set the pressure cooker to 'Manual' or 'High Pressure' for 10 minutes.
After the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.
Open the lid and stir the sauce. If desired, use an immersion blender to achieve a smoother texture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Stir in the chopped fresh basil leaves just before serving.
Serve the marinara sauce over pasta, use it as a pizza sauce, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
