Equipment

Instant Pot

Ingredients

4 ounces pancetta (or center cut bacon, chopped)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large white onion (minced)
2 celery stalks (about 3/4 cup, minced)
2 carrots (about 3/4 cup, minced)
2 lb lean ground beef
1/4 cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
2 28 oz cans crushed tomatoes ((I love Tuttorosso))
3 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and fresh black pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup half & half cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Press saute on the Instant Pot, sauté the pancetta over low heat until the fat melts, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the butter, onion, celery and carrots and cook until soft, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Add the meat and season it with 3/4 teaspoons salt and black pepper to taste and sauté until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes, breaking the meat up into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Add the wine and cook until it reduces down, about 3-4 minutes.
Add crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, 3/4 teaspoon salt and fresh cracked black pepper; cover and cook high pressure 15 minutes.
Natural release, stir in the half & half and garnish with parsley; serve over your favorite pasta, zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash.
