- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode. Add olive oil, then sauté onions for 3–4 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen flavor. Add San Marzano tomatoes (crush them by hand or with a spoon), then add basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
- Cancel sauté. Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to Manual (High Pressure) for 10 minutes. Let it naturally release for 5 minutes, then do a quick release.
