2 Cloves Garlic
500gm Minced Beef
375gm Jar Tomato Paste
810gm Crushed Tomatoes
2 tsp Basil Leaves
1lt 200ml Water

Add Tomato Paste & Tin of Crushed Tomatoes (include liquid)
Mix through & Pressure cook on Low for 10 minutes then quick release
Add the Water, Pasta and Basil, stir through
Pressure Cook on Low for 5 minutes
Open vents & let the cooker come down in pressure until the lid opens easily, add 200ml water if you like your sauce thinner
Serving Suggestion
Serve with freshly ground black pepper & shaved parmesan cheese.
Optional – 1 cup chopped spinach or 1 chopped zucchini when adding the water.
Serves 4-6
- You don't have to measure the water, just fill your empty tomato tin once and then half again for your 1 lt 200 ml water content.
- The dish will look very runny before your final 5 minutes of cooking, don't worry, the pasta will soak up all of that water, and thicken your sauce with starch at the same time.
- If the sauce is too thick for you at the end of cooking you can always add 200 ml more water if you like your sauce thinner.
