When I was a kid, spaghetti served with meat sauce was part of my mother’s regular rotation. We’re not even a bit Italian, but that wasn’t important to our kids. I especially loved it with the cheap bread of garlic bread.
Now I’m cooking for my kids. Spaghetti nights are still a fan favorite. I love the traditional rag bolognese and although I was in the way for a long time on Sundays, it’s just too much for Tuesday night work. This instant pot sausage rug is a simple weekday recipe. Bend time to your will using a pressure cooker and use Italian sausage for quick and easy flavor boost. Is it as good as the sauce my grandma has lovingly stirred up throughout the afternoon? No, of course not. But it is still made with love for my kids – a little faster than Grandma made.

material
Soft
1 tablespoon olive oil 1 onion, 1 celery rib bone, 1 large carrot diced, 3 clove garlic peeled and diced, 1 tsp/crushed red pepper flake ½ 1 teaspoon fine sea salt 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning spice blend
Everything else
½ cup red wine (or water) 2½ pounds of Italian sausage (bulk sausage or casing removed link) 1 cup chicken soup, preferably homemade chicken soup, or 1 (28 oz) water can be crushed
How to make an instant pot sausage rug
Fry the sofrito
Heat the oil in an instant pot. When the oil shines, add the onion, celery, carrots and garlic for about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with crushed red chili flakes, ½ teaspoons of salt, and dried Italian seasonings and saute for about 5 minutes until the onions are tender.
Simmering wine
Pour the wine into a pan and stir, loosen the onion bites from the bottom. Simmer the wine for 1 minute to remove some of the alcohol.
Add the sausages and then add everything to the pot
Stir the sausages into a pan to cook, stir frequently, breaking the sausage chunks until they turn pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken soup and crushed tomatoes.
Apply pressure for 20 minutes
Lock the lid. Apply pressure at high pressure in an instant pot or electric pressure cooker for 20 minutes, and for 16 minutes if using a StovetopPC. (Set to 20 minutes using Manual, Pressure Cook, or Pressure Cooking – Customer Mode in Instant Pot.) Reduce pressure naturally and allow for another 20 minutes. (If you’re in a hurry, quickly release the remaining pressure in 15 minutes.)
serve
Unlock the lid and move it away from you. (The steam is still hot). Stir in fresh ground black pepper. We will serve 1 pound of pasta.
Alternative
What kind of Italian sausage? Sweet or hot?
it’s up to you. My family likes to bring fever, so I usually make it with hot Italian sausages. But if you have a sensitive eater, even sweet Italian sausages are great.
Dried Italian seasoning?
If you cannot find a dried Italian seasoning blend in the spice passageway, use dried basil, dried oregano, or a mixture of the two.
Fresh herbs?
Instead of dried herbs, you can use fresh basil twigs, one fresh rosemary, and two or three twigs of fresh thyme. Add them with tomatoes and remove the stems before serving.
Device
6 quart pressure cooker
Flat wooden spoon
scaling
This recipe can be easily doubled in a 6-quart pressure cooker. Cut all the ingredients in half and they fit in a 3 quart pressure cooker. Cooking time remains the same. No matter how much you have in the pot, it takes the same amount of time to cook the sauce.
Storage
The pasta sauce is frozen well. I often make double batches and freeze half of them in a 6 cup container. It lasts for several months in the freezer, making even faster weekday sauces – just the microwave until it gets hot.
Tips and tips
Using wine tomato sauce
Alcohol brings out the flavor of tomatoes. For an ideal example, see vodka tomato sauce. So I like to use a bit of wine in my sauce, as I think it adds to the flavor. If you are trying to avoid alcohol, you can skip it.
Rest overnight to avoid sauce
If you want to reduce fat in the sauce, skim as much fat as possible from the surface of the pot before serving. Or make the sauce the night before and refrigerate. The fat floats on the top and forms a solid fat cap that can be easily rubbed off. Reheat the sauce and it’s ready to serve.
Chicken bouillon (or water) to prevent tomatoes from burning
A cup of chicken soup (or water) is a good amount to keep the tomatoes from burning in this recipe. (I love tomatoes sink to the bottom of the pan and burn.) If the sauce is burning at the bottom of the instant pot (or there is a burn warning), add two tablespoons of chicken soup (or water) recipe, And do not stir the tomatoes. Just pour them over everything else in the pot.
An even easier version of sausage rug
Is this recipe too complicated? Here it is stripped to the most important material. To reduce this to six ingredients (salt and pepper), use:
1 tablespoon olive oil 1 onion, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 2½ pounds Italian sausage 1½ cup chicken broth 28 oz crushed tomato
Follow the recipe instructions. Fry the onion in olive oil and Italian seasonings until the onion is tender. Stir in Italian sausages and chicken soup and cook until the sausages lose their pink colour. Pour the tomatoes and cook under pressure for 20 minutes. that’s it!
What to serve with instant pot sausage sauce
I love this sauce along with the pasta. It’s perfect for large tube-shaped pasta like spaghetti or penne or rigatoni. I like sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese. This sauce is also great for polenta. I like to serve it with green vegetables (garlic and lemon, or instant pot green beans, salads, instant pot kale with garlic bread, etc.
