Pasta Sauce
Ingredients:
- 8 cups of Garden Fresh tomatoes – stem and core removed and quartered.
- 3 Garlic Cloves
- 2 Carrots, peeled and quartered
- 2 Medium Onions, skin removed and quartered
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
- 6 oz Tomato Paste
Step 1: Add all of your ingredients, except the tomato paste and place inside the inner liner of your pressure cooker.
Step 2: Place your lid on the pressure cooker, turn the toggle to seal and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. Allow to vent naturally. This should take approximately 40 minutes total. All of the items will have cooked together and will still be mostly in whole pieces – we’re going to fix that!
Step 3: With your Immersion Blender blend all of the ingredients into a smooth sauce. It is going to be loose at this point, and not what you expect of a sauce.
Step 4: Add in the can of tomato paste and blend again. This will thicken up your sauce and will bring in a bit more of the robust taste you’re expecting. The carrots will add a natural sweetness and reduce any extra additive you need in your sauce.
And just like that – you have a delicious pasta sauce that you can use all winter long! You’ll be amazed at how fast you use up your tomatoes with this method – but then you’ll have a counter of jars of sauce taking over.
