Making The Best Instant Pot Bolognese Sauce is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Sauté Vegetables: Set the Instant Pot to “Sauté” mode. Add the olive oil, onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
2. Add Meats: Stir in the ground beef and ground pork, breaking them apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
3. Mix in Liquids: Pour in the beef broth, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir until well combined.
4. Season: Add dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
5. Cook Under Pressure: Close the Instant Pot lid and set it to “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” for 25 minutes. Make sure to seal the vent.
6. Natural Release: Once the cooking time is up, allow the pot to release pressure naturally for 10 minutes before carefully quick releasing any remaining pressure.
7. Finish the Sauce: Open the lid and stir in the milk, adjusting seasoning as desired for taste.
8. Serve: The sauce can be tossed with freshly cooked pasta or stored for later use.
These steps will guide you in effortlessly creating this incredible sauce that transforms any dish into a memorable meal.
