I am recently OBSSESSED with my new pressure cooker and will be sharing the recipes that are tried and true. Stayed tuned.....
Pasta sauce with Italian sausage and ground beef
This recipe ingredient list looks long, but it goes together very quickly. And the pressure cooker adds a wonderful depth of flavor so the sauce tastes like it simmered for hours.
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 lb. bulk Italian sausage
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 bay leaves
28 oz. can stewed tomatoes
6 oz. can tomato paste
6 cups hot cooked spaghetti
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation:
In a 4- or 6-quart pressure cooker cook beef and sausage until brown. Remove meat with slotted spoon and drain off fat from cooker. Return meat to the cooker and add the mushrooms, onion, garlic, celery, parsley, sugar, oregano, crushed red pepper, bay leaves,parm cheese, stewed tomatoes, and tomato paste.
Lock lid in place. Bring cooker up to high pressure, then cook for 10 minutes. Bring pot of water to a boil at the same time and cook spaghetti until al dente according to package directions. Drain and, if necessary, keep warm by placing spaghetti in colander and placing colander over simmering water.
Quick-release the pressure and carefully remove lid. Remove bay leaves and serve sauce over spaghetti. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serves 6
NOTES: I omitted celery and cheated with a jar of Ragu since i had it on hand. I also sauteed my onions and garlic together in the pot first, removed what i could, then browned my meats in the cooker and then added all the ingredients back in. I cooked for 20minutes under pressure. It took longer for my pasta to cook! LOL I browned my sausage whole and then sliced it in thick slices and browned the opened sides again...cant be too careful with pork!
