Instant Pot "Bolognese-Ish" Sauce

Sundays are usually the day I make homemade sauce....because I love to let it cook all day...I recently tried a sauce in the Instant Pot and was really amazed at how delicious it tasted for being cooked in less than 20 minutes! I made a bolognese type sauce and this is how I did it:

Instant Pot "Bolognese-Ish" sauce

1 lb ground beef

1 white onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 zucchini, grated

1 large carrot, grated

1 large handful fresh spinach

8 oz mushrooms, chopped

1 cup red wine

1-28oz can diced tomatoes

1-15oz can diced tomatoes

1-15oz can tomato sauce

1 tbsp italian seasoning

1 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp salt

2 bay leaves

Turn instant pot on saute. Add about a tablespoon of olive oil to the instant pot, then add the ground beef. Brown until fully cooked. Drain oil. Remove meat and set aside.

Add another drizzle of olive oil into the instant pot. Saute onions and garlic until they're fragrant. About 3 minutes. Add grated zucchini, carrots, mushrooms and spinach. Cook about 2 more minutes. Add one cup of red wine. Let it come to a simmer. 

Add tomatoes and tomato sauce, then the rest of the seasonings. Add the ground beef back into the pot.

Cancel saute and turn to manual high pressure. Set time for 12 minutes. When it's completed it's 12 minutes, turn the valve to do an instant release. 

Serve with your favorite pasta!
