Prep time

This recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare, and the Instant Pot does the rest. Just gather your ingredients, measure and chop them if necessary, and you’re ready to go.

Cook time

The cook time for this bolognese sauce is about 20 minutes in the Instant Pot. This time does not include the time it takes for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure or to release the pressure.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

1. Set the Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Add the olive oil, onion, and garlic, and cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the ground beef and seasonings (oregano, basil, thyme, salt, pepper). Cook until the beef is browned, about 5 minutes.

3. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.

4. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, making sure the valve is set to sealing. Set the pressure to high and cook for 15 minutes.

5. When the cooking time is finished, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure.

6. Serve over your favorite pasta and enjoy!

Recipe Tips

  • For a little extra flavor, add 1/4 cup of white wine while browning the beef.
  • If you like your sauce a bit thicker, add 1-2 tablespoons of tomato paste.
  • For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can purée the tomatoes in a blender before adding them to the Instant Pot.
  • You can also add 1/2 cup of cream at the end for a richer sauce.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the beef with 1 pound of diced mushrooms.
