Easy Instant Pot Spaghetti Sauce
What are the foods that you keep in your pantry for easy weeknight dinners? I usually have canned beans, wild-caught canned tuna (which by the way is amazing with mashed fresh avocado) and some type of pasta sauce. When my husband brought home a huge box of ripe tomatoes, I instantly decided to make pressure cooker Spaghetti Sauce as we love a good pasta meal around here.
This Instant Pot Spaghetti Sauce is made with mild ground sausage and fresh tomatoes. You can use hot sausage or skip it altogether for a vegetarian version. The pasta sauce tastes amazing like it was simmered for hours.
The sauce will make your house smell fantastic, and it tastes like it’s from a high-end Italian restaurant. It has been flavored with many dried herbs, and it’s such a time-saver to have on hand. I like to make a large batch and freeze it to use on lazy nights for quick dinners.

How to make Instant Pot Spaghetti Sauce?
After you have finished cooking the sauce on HP and released the pressure, set the Instant Pot on Sauté and add 1/2 cup cream and 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until combined and simmer the sauce for 1-2 minutes. Add more cream if desired. Turn off Instant Pot and serve the sauce over pasta.
Can you make Instant Pot Spaghetti Sauce with canned tomatoes?
Yes, you can make the sauce with either fresh or canned tomatoes. You can use about 12 medium fresh tomatoes or 28 ounces diced canned tomatoes.
Can you freeze Spaghetti Sauce?
Tomato-based sauces tend to freeze and thaw the best, but meat-based sauces can also stand up to freezing. Do not store spaghetti sauce in opened metal cans or containers. Let the sauce cool completely. Pour into to freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags.
Label with the date, and freeze for up to 3-4 months, or longer if you use a deep freeze.
How to thaw frozen Spaghetti Sauce?
Transfer the sauce to your refrigerator the night before you wish to use it to allow it to thaw. Add the sauce to a saucepan and reheat it to at least 165 F before you consume it.
