PRESSURE COOKER 30 MINUTE MARINARA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat Pressure Cooker on medium heat and add olive oil.
• Chop onion and garlic however fine you like and add to hot oil.
• Cook for a minute do not brown!
• Throw in the rest of your spices except salt.
• Throw in the carrot( I leave it in large chunks and remove it but you may keep it in sauce if you like so you can cut it to whatever size you like or even mince it).
• Add the can of Tomatoes and some water--I use about 1/4 of the tomato can full of water -- it gets thick so you need to add enough or it could stick and burn.
• Put lid on cooker and bring to pressure. Turn down enough to keep it low but still have pressure in pot. Cook for 1/2 Hour. Turn off and bring pressure down by either quick release method or take off burner and let it naturally release.
• Take of lid and taste --add salt, maybe a pinch of sugar if you want. You can also stir in some more EVOO at this point remove carrot (or not), Voila! Done!
• *** I like it on Penne pasta with some grated Pecorino Romano and Parmesan cheese but you can use it on whatever you like. Lasagana, Veal Cutlet. Makes a good base for Clam Zuppa sauce or Tuna sauce.

Steps:

• Open can and combine ingredients and stir until completely mixed.
• If using Toppings on your pizza, you can go lighter on the sauce, but I can typically get two (2) 9" round pizzas or one (1) large rectangular sheet tray when making a Red Pizza.

CLASSIC PIZZA SAUCE - PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• Mince garlic in a food processor for best results.
• Fry garlic in olive oil until the garlic turns golden brown, but do not let get medium brown or burn. Might take about 5 minutes. (The Italians like to saute garlic on low to prevent browning.).
• Add sautéed garlic and oil and canned tomatoes to pressure cooker. If using optional ingredients, add them here.
• Pressure cook at a gauge pressure of 1 bar/15 psi for 45 minutes. Start timing when full pressure is reached. (For electric pressure cooker, use low pressure.).
• Depressurize the cooker naturally. (Relax, it doesn't take very long to come down from low pressure.).
• Season the sauce to taste with extra-virgin olive oil and/or salt.
• This keeps for up to 5 days when refrigerated or up to 6 months when frozen.
