Recipe printed from www.easycheesyvegetarian.com
Ingredients
- 3 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes (~ 4 cups in total)
- 1 onion, roughly chopped (I used a red onion)
- 5 cloves garlic, minced (or 3 tsp lazy garlic)
- 2 tbsp tomato puree (tomato paste)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Few sprigs fresh basil, chopped
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker, and mix to combine. Cook on high for 5-7 hours (if you're using the slow cook function of your Instant Pot, make sure the valve is set to 'venting', and slow cook with the pressure set to 'more').
- You can either leave the sauce chunky, or blend it with a hand blender until it reaches your desired consistency. If you'd like a thicker sauce, continue to cook on high with the lid off for another hour or two.
