TOMATO SAUCE FOR PASTA

Makes about 3 ½ cups, 12 minutes (High Pressure)
Forget the classic pasta sauce that takes hours of slow simmering- in just minutes
you're done. If you prefer a meat sauce, add ½ pound of ground beef to the
sautéed vegetables and cook until browns. Add the tomato sauce and all the
other ingredients.
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 medium carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 clove garlic minced
3 cups crushed canned tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 teaspoons basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 small bay leaf
¼ cup dry red wine
Use the brown setting to sauté the onion, carrot, celery and garlic until softened.
Add all the remaining ingredients. Turn off the browning setting.
Close the lid and press HIGH Pressure, set the timer for 12 minutes. When done,
release the pressure and open the cooker. Use the "browning" setting to reduce
the sauce if it is not thick enough.
