Ingredients
- Ground Sirloin –You can use whatever kind of ground meat you prefer

- Sweet onion- I love sweet onions in my recipe but you can use yellow onions, red onions or whatever kind of onions you have on hand.
- Garlic- You can buy minced garlic or mince your own.
- Tomato sauce- This is the base of the tomato sauce
- Stewed Tomatoes- This will add a chunkiness to the sauce
- Tomato paste- Using tomato sauce will keep the sauce thick even when you add the water.
- Water- This is used to cover the noodles.
- Seasonings- The seasonings I use are listed below
- Brown sugar- I always add a little bit of sugar to my sauce. Sometimes the tomatoes are a little bit bitter.
- Fettuccine- I like to use fettuccine with my sauce
- Parmesan Cheese- This is to add to the top of the meal
- Parsley- Fresh parsley is the perfect herb for topping this recipe.
How to Make Fettuccine Bolognese in an Instant Pot
Set the Instant Pot to the saute setting and then melt the butter. Add the onions and saute until they are golden brown.
Add the beef and cook until it is no longer pink.
Turn the Instant Pot off and then add the garlic, tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, paste, water, sugar, and seasoning. Stir everything together and mix well.
Add the fettuccine and make sure it is covered and not sticking out of the sauce.
Place the lid on top, set it to sealing and cook for 8 minutes. Do a quick release.
Serve with crusty bread or a side salad.
What Meats Can I Use in Bolognese?
I like to use ground sirloin when I am making this. You can use any type of ground beef, ground chicken or turkey, ground pork, ground sausage or even ground lamb. The ground meat is what is needed to make the meat sauce. Yo
u can use any combination of meat you prefer.
Do I Have to Use Fettuccine?
No. You can use whatever type of noodles you prefer, but different noodles need different cooking times in the Instant Pot. You will want to make sure to change the cook time so that the pasta doesn’t get overcooked.

Instructions
- Turn the Instant Pot on to the SAUTE setting, and melt the butter in the Instant Pot.
- Add the chopped onion, and saute until caramelized, or golden brown.

- Stir all together until well mixed.
- Add the Fettuccine, and make sure it's completely covered and not sticking out of the sauce. (You can break it in half to make it easier to submerge in the sauce).
- (If you need to add a little more water, to make sure the Fettuccine is covered, add another 1/2 cup).
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot, and make sure the pressure valve is set to SEALING.
- Press the MANUAL button, and set the time for 8 minutes.
- When the Instant Pot is finished cooking, beeps and goes to OFF, go ahead and quick release the pressure, by turning the pressure valve from sealing to VENTING.
- When all the pressure has been released, and the FLOAT VALVE drops down, remove the lid from the Instant Pot, and stir the Fettuccine, and sauce. (This is where I taste the sauce, to see if it needs any more seasonings, or if it's just right).
