Steps:
- Heat Pressure Cooker on medium heat and add olive oil.
- Chop onion and garlic however fine you like and add to hot oil.
- Cook for a minute do not brown!
- Throw in the rest of your spices except salt.
- Throw in the carrot( I leave it in large chunks and remove it but you may keep it in sauce if you like so you can cut it to whatever size you like or even mince it).
- Add the can of Tomatoes and some water--I use about 1/4 of the tomato can full of water -- it gets thick so you need to add enough or it could stick and burn.
- Put lid on cooker and bring to pressure. Turn down enough to keep it low but still have pressure in pot. Cook for 1/2 Hour. Turn off and bring pressure down by either quick release method or take off burner and let it naturally release.
- Take of lid and taste --add salt, maybe a pinch of sugar if you want. You can also stir in some more EVOO at this point remove carrot (or not), Voila! Done!
- *** I like it on Penne pasta with some grated Pecorino Romano and Parmesan cheese but you can use it on whatever you like. Lasagana, Veal Cutlet. Makes a good base for Clam Zuppa sauce or Tuna sauce.

Steps:
- Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function to heat the pot. Add olive oil and onion; cook until onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in red wine and simmer until reduced by half.
- Pour diced tomatoes and whole tomatoes into the pot. Bring to a simmer. Stir in basil, oregano, parsley, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and bay leaf. Press Keep Warm. Close and lock the lid. Seal the vent. Select Manual function and set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build.
- Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Discard bay leaf. Use an immersion blender to puree the sauce.

Tips:
- Use high-quality tomatoes. Fresh, ripe tomatoes will give your sauce the best flavor. If you're using canned tomatoes, choose ones that are packed in tomato juice, not water.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you're using a pressure cooker, make sure there's enough space for the liquid to circulate. Overcrowding can prevent the sauce from cooking evenly.
- Don't overcook the sauce. Marinara sauce is best when it's cooked just until the tomatoes have softened and the flavors have melded. Overcooking can make the sauce thick and bland.
- Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Let the sauce cool and thicken. Once the sauce is cooked, let it cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the sauce to thicken.
Conclusion:
Pressure cooker marinara sauce is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and versatile sauce. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a flavorful sauce that can be used on pasta, pizza, or as a dipping sauce. So next time you're short on time, don't be afraid to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
