My first Spaghetti Sauce – so easy!!

Super Simple Spaghetti Sauce right here for you! Spaghetti Sauce has always been something that we have bought in the store. I know my mom used to make her own but I don’t remember ever having it. I know this is a thing that many people do. However, making my own spaghetti sauce seemed like an impossible task that I couldn’t possibly be skilled enough for or have the time to do. Then I found some super simple recipes and choose the best pieces of them all to create my first super simple spaghetti sauce and it was DELICIOUS! Even my kids ate it!

All of the ingredients in this super simple spaghetti sauce came straight from our garden! Everything was fresh and so good! If you don’t have a garden, don’t worry, store bought produce will work just fine. We thought that our 30 tomato plants were mostly a lost cause, only getting a few hand-fulls of cherry tomatoes all summer. We had a ton of green tomatoes. I finally, got some really good advice from local growers to stress out our plants. So, we followed it. When they weren’t producing and the summer was on it’s way out we stopped watering them and trimmed them down to the farthest out tomato. After that, we ended up getting a bunch of beautiful ripe tomatoes, in a few different varieties. However, when the frost hit we STILL had many, many green tomatoes. It was so sad! I was determined to make something yummy out of the ones that we had. Try out my NO PEEL Spaghetti Sauce recipe!

*Don’t be worried carrots are a common ingredient in tomato sauce! It adds to the flavor and the texture! I was skeptical at first, then I did some research and tried it! WOW!

  • 1/3 cup of water
  • 2 carrots chopped

  • 1 small sweet chopped onion
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbls of dried Basil
  • 1tbls of dried Oregano
  • 1 tbls of dried Parsley
  • 1-2 tbls of Olive Oil

Sauté onions and carrots in instant pot until onions are translucent. Stir in garlic and sauté for another minute. Turn off instant pot, add all other ingredients, adding spices last and just sprinkled on top. Set to high pressure, 20minutes, let naturally release for 10minutes.

When it’s done, put the entire contents of the instant pot into a food processor or blender. Then poof, there you have it a deliciously simple spaghetti sauce! Enjoy!
