Pressure Cooker Spaghetti Sauce
Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound  ground beef
  • 1/2 pound  bulk Italian sausage or bulk pork sausage
  • 2 cups  sliced fresh mushrooms (6 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup  chopped onion (1 medium)
  • 1/2 cup  sliced celery (1 stalk)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup  snipped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon  sugar
  • 1 teaspoon  dried oregano, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon  crushed red pepper
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 28 ounce can stewed tomatoes
  • 1 6 ounce can tomato paste
  • 6 cups  hot cooked spaghetti or fettuccine (12 ounces uncooked)
Directions

1. In a 4- or 6-quart pressure cooker cook beef and sausage until brown. Remove meat. Drain off fat.

2. Return meat to the cooker and add the mushrooms, onion, celery, garlic, parsley, sugar, oregano, crushed red pepper, bay leaves, stewed tomatoes, and tomato paste.

3. Lock lid in place. Place pressure regulator on vent pipe (if you have a first generation cooker). Over high heat, bring cooker up to pressure. Reduce heat just enough to maintain pressure and pressure regulator rocks gently; cook for 10 minutes.

4. Quick-release the pressure. Carefully remove lid.

5. Remove bay leaves. Serve over spaghetti. Makes 6 main-dish servings (6 cups sauce).
