Instructions: In a 4- or 6-quart pressure cooker cook beef and sausage until brown. Remove meat. Drain off fat.

Return meat to the cooker and add the mushrooms, onion, celery, garlic, parsley, sugar, oregano, crushed red pepper, bay leaves, stewed tomatoes, and tomato paste.

Lock lid in place. Place pressure regulator on vent pipe (if you have a first generation cooker). Over high heat, bring cooker up to pressure. Reduce heat just enough to maintain pressure and pressure regulator rocks gently; cook for 10 minutes.

Quick-release the pressure. Carefully remove lid.

Remove bay leaves. Serve over spaghetti.

This recipe yields 6 main-dish servings (6 cups sauce).

Comments: Heres a homemade spaghetti sauce you can enjoy anytime. Use Italian sausage for a robust flavor.

Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare sauce. Cool, cover, and chill up to 24 hours. Reheat on rangetop before serving. Or, transfer to 1 1/2- to 2-quart freezer container. Seal, label, and freeze up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in refrigerator and reheat.
