Family recipe made for generations! Passed on to you! Enjoy.

Sauce has been a staple in my family for generations. Each family member makes it a bit different. I don't give a specific serving size. This is used for a pound of pasta and sauce on the side if that helps.

The hearty pasta sauce my 1st generation Italian-American grandmother made when I was growing up took all day to make. I decided to see if I could speed up the process using today's Ninja Foodi technology. Any electric pressure cooker (like an Instapot) should work the same. This helps reduce homemade sauce from an 8+ hour event down to under 2 hours.This recipe makes a really large batch (max capacity in my 8qt Foodi Deluxe). I make a ton and can what we don't eat in 1qt mason jars for future dinners. If you have a smaller pressure cooker or a smaller family, you will want to reduce the recipe by half. It will still make enough for leftovers.The optional corn starch is to thicken the sauce to desired consistency. Because it's been pressure cooked, the flavors are already infused really well, the ingredients all softened to perfection. No need to cook it down to meld the flavors, so we can thicken it instead. If you prefer a more soupy sauce, skip that part.**If canning, because acid has been reduced and meat is in the sauce, you need to add some lemon juice to boost acid and only use a pressure canner specifically designed for low acid foods.**

For good pasta/pizza, sauce makes all the difference. An easy and quick to make sauce. Yummy as well healthy. Made with a secret ingredient. No artificail colours. Try it and you will not buy it anymore.

Incredibly Versatile!

I unexpectedly had some leftover crab legs, so I made a pasta sauce with them.When rolling out the pasta dough, roll it out thinly by gradually adjusting the module on the pasta machine. This'll result in chewier pasta. Recipe by Kajihara Ato

I just got my first food processor and I've been dying to use it, so this was kind of my excuse (:
