Instant Pot Rustic Tomato Sauce Recipe

Instant Pot Rustic Tomato Sauce Recicpe

The days are getting shorter, it’s becoming cooler out, kids are going back to school, but this really only means one thing to the Pressure Cooker Passion family… here come the TOMATOES! One of the best things to do with tomatoes, in our humble opinion, is make a flavor packed Instant Pot Rustic Tomato Sauce. Using the Instant Pot means instead of spending 2 -5 hours (or however long grandma cooked her sauce for) in the kitchen, we can extract a ton of beautiful flavor in a fraction of the time.

Our definition of rustic means chunky tomatoes, tomato skins, big pieces of garlic, lots of basil, and olive oil, mixed with onions, green peppers and seasoning. Our garden has a wide variety of tomatoes including cherry, heirloom, plum, yellow pear, and chocolate cherry.  And because we never know what type of yields we’ll get from each plant, we have a simple philosophy: all tomatoes are welcome in our Instant Pot.  The beauty of our rustic sauce is that you can use a single variety of tomato or multiple varieties depending on what you have available.

This sauce can be used with pasta , preferably a large hearty noodle like Rigatoni,  Orecchiette or Penne. It also lends itself to any dish that uses tomato sauce like pizza, lasagna, chicken parmigiana, and so on.   This sauce can also be frozen for up to 3 months without losing any of its rustic goodness, for use long after the tomatoes are gone.
