Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 pound Italian turkey sausage (or your favorite sausage/ground beef)
  • 3 Tablespoons minced onion flakes
  • 4 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
  • 6 ounces tomato paste ((1 can))
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 Tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 16 ounces pasta, cooked ((gluten-free pasta will work as well))
  • fresh grated Parmesan cheese ((optional; for topping))

Instruction

  • Turn Instant Pot to saute setting and add sausage when pot is hot. Brown sausage and break up as it cooks (I used a chop-stir to break up my sausage).
  • Add onion flakes, minced garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, water, sugar, oregano, basil, fennel seed, salt and pepper to Instant Pot and mix with turkey sausage.
  • Place lid on Instant Pot, move valve to "sealing" and press the "manual" button. Set timer for 20 minutes and let it do it's magic!
  • It will take a few minutes to come to pressure, then it will start the countdown timer from 20 minutes.
  • Once the 20 minutes of cook time are over, do a "quick release" by moving the valve on top to vent. Once all the pressure has released and the pin has dropped, remove the lid and stir the sauce.
  • Serve over cooked pasta and garnish with Parmesan cheese.
