Homemade pasta sauce from scratch in Instant pot


Pasta sauce can be easily prepared at home. It can be easily prepared at home with very simple ingredients. Here I have used Instant pot for making this sauce. This can be done in stove top too by following the same steps.

How to prepare:

1. Turn ON instant pot. Press SAUTE. Wait until it is hot. Cut everything to cubes. We are going to blend it. So shape doesn't matters.
2. Add 3 tbsp olive oil, garlic, onions.


3. Add jalapenos, red capsicum and beetroot. 

4. Add tomatoes, salt, and pepper powder. 
5. Add basil leaves, oregano. Mix it. Press CANCEL. Set PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL for 10 minutes.

6. Wait for natural pressure release(NPR). Open the instant pot and blend well using a hand blender such that there are no chunks. Press SAUTE again to simmer until thickened and it is not watery. It took 13 minutes for me to reduce and become thick

7. Cool and transfer to an airtight container. Keep it in fridge for further use.
