Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans whole tomatoes
- 1 onion, quartered
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Open both cans of whole tomatoes and pour them into the pressure cooker, including all juices.
- Peel the onion and cut it into quarters, then add the onion pieces directly into the tomatoes.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes and onions, ensuring even distribution.
- Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and set it to high pressure.
- Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down and develop deep, rich flavors.
- Once cooking time is complete, carefully perform a quick release of the pressure.
- Remove the lid and use an immersion blender to puree the sauce until smooth, or transfer to a blender in batches if preferred.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- For a smoother consistency, pass the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any remaining tomato seeds or onion pieces.
- Serve immediately over pasta, or allow to cool and store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • Use high-quality whole canned tomatoes for the best flavor - San Marzano tomatoes are ideal if you can find them. • Don't skip the onion - it adds a subtle sweetness and depth to the sauce. • For a smoother sauce, definitely use an immersion blender or carefully transfer to a standard blender. • If you prefer a less chunky sauce, strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds and onion pieces. • This marinara freezes beautifully for up to 3 months, so make a double batch and save some for later. • For added complexity, consider adding a pinch of dried oregano or basil during cooking. • Let the sauce rest for 5-10 minutes after blending to allow flavors to meld together.
