Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 ripe tomatoes cut into quarters
  • 3-4 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 5-8 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup Burgundy wine (alternatively, use water, broth, or juice - see notes)
  • ½ cup vegetable stock
  • 1½ tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon salt or more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper to taste
  • 3-4 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • handful fresh basil (sliced)

Instructions

  • Set your Ninja Foodi to the saute function, press the start button so it turns on. Add the olive oil, onion, and garlic, and allow the garlic to sizzle for 1 minute.

  • Close your Ninja Foodi, and set the valve to the sealing position. Pressure cook on high for 25 minutes.

  • Allow for the Ninja Foodi to sit for 10 minutes so it releases its pressure naturally, then set the valve on the vent position so the Ninja Food releases the remainder of its pressure.
  • Remove the bay leaf, stir then blend. You can also simply break the pieces with your wooden spoon if you prefer your tomato sauce chunky. Season with some Italian seasoning and top with fresh basil.

Notes

  • Use water, grape juice, apple juice or pomegrenate juice in place of the Burgundy wine, if making this for kids.
