- 1 cup water
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 1 pound Roma tomatoes quartered, about 1 1/2 cups
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
Instructions

- Add water and tomato paste and stir until ingredients are mixed well. Add parsley, spices, salt, pepper and sugar and stir again.
- Add tomatoes and seal lid. Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes.
- Allow to natural release for ten minutes and then quick release until the lid can be safely removed.
- Use an immersion blender to create a smooth sauce. Garnish with more parsley if desired.
Notes
- Use an immersion blender to make a smooth sauce
- Fresh garlic can be sautéed with the onions instead of using garlic powder
- Whole Roma tomatoes can be used, but we prefer to quarter the tomatoes before adding to the pot
- We follow this recipe to make a smooth sauce
- To make a chunky meaty sauce, dice the tomatoes first and do not use a blender after the sauce is cooked
- Recipe tastes great with twice as many tomatoes OR twice as much tomato paste, more water can be added as a personal preference
- Always serve with cheese! We love freshly shaved parmesan, but grated parmesan or mozzarella can be more convenient
- Canned tomatoes can be used in place of fresh tomatoes
