instructions
- Set Instant Pot to Sauté and add oil and 3 Tbsp butter. Once the oil is hot and butter is melted, add onion, garlic, bacon slices, and rosemary. Cook until the onions are softened and the garlic is browned, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove bacon and rosemary. Add pork, beef, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir to combine, cooking for a couple of minutes until the meat is browned.
- Stir in red wine and allow to cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in all tomatoes (chopped and sun-dried).
- Cover and cook on Manual pressure, on High, for 30 minutes. Quick release when it is finished cooking.
- When you are about 15 minutes out from the sauce finishing, cook pasta in a pot of boiling salted water for the time listed on the packet instructions.
- Drain pasta and return to the pan. Add a few ladlefuls of the Bolognese sauce, tossing to coat. Divide pasta between bowl and serve with a large helping of Bolognese on top. Finish with freshly grated Parmesan.
