Instant Pot Classic Marinara Sauce
Instant Pot Classic Marinara Sauce simmers into a rich, tomato-forward blend with gentle heat and a touch of red wine for depth. Dried basil, oregano, and parsley infuse the sauce with fragrant Italian character, while a hint of red pepper lifts the finish. Serve it on busy weeknights over pasta, layered into lasagna, or as a robust base for pizza.
