Since I used powdered garlic and onion, I did not saute. Cut roma tomatoes and red peppers. Put in pot with spices below. Cooked for 25 minutes.
March 20,2019
Tried this sauce again using Roma tomatoes in the pot for 22 minutes. Just a half cut of water left this sauce much more condensed. Basil, Italian Seasoning, tarragon, garlic powder, onion powder, Paprika. No chocolate this time and I found the sauce sweet and good.
Even Elizabeth had some.
I used mine in this recipe
March 30, 2019
Basically, did the same thing. No red peppers this time. It did not taste as good. Tomatoes need to be riper. Red Pepper needs to be used.

March 10, 2019 Just finished. Put instapot in fridge until tomorrow.
The odd ingredient, cocoa powder, seemed to work great. And a tablespoon added just 1 milligram of sodium. It is a very tasty sauce.
However, it is watery.
Perhaps when I blend it from chunky to smooth some of that will go away. However, if I make it again, I'll use Roma tomatoes and only one half cup of water.
Spices were garlic powder, Italian seasoning, Basil, black pepper, paprika.
FORGOT THAT I USED INSTAPOT AND USED SLOW COOKER

Made the sauce with vine tomates. I used the new no salt tomato paste, a whole jar. That made it thicker.
Slow cooker for 25 minutes.
Added paste and cooked another 25 minutes.
Letting the steam out after the first session seemed to reduce the sauce a bit. I did not add red pepper this time, but still liked the outcome. Again, underspiced to please Elizabeth's palate. I'll add more spices to mine. Garlic and black pepper in the basic sauce and some onion powder.
I had some nicely ripe romano tomato. Added some onion, garlic powder, turmeric, black pepper and basil. Skipped the Italian spices and tarragon as Elizabeth does not like them.
It was tasty, but it was not really sauce. We ate the chunky stuff over pasta and it was good. I should have added the Italian spices to mine. I did add Benson's salt and some Afro hot pepper sauce. I did not have time to add tomato paste and felt there was little to thicken. Perhaps I';; try the left over jar in the blender first.
I'll go back to Instapot.

I used vine tomatoes and they did seem a little bit watery. I added tomato paste. I had almost as much red peppers and used garlic powder, paprika. black pepper, turmeric, Italian mixed seasoning, chopped onion.
I cooled Instapot on Manual for 25 minutes. No water added. Then I cooked again for 30 minutes. I had it over Miracle noodles in a bowl and it seemed fine. I added some Afro Hot Sauce and Benson's in the bowl. The sauce was nicely sweet although I added nothing sweet. It much have been the tomatoes.
****************
This time I did the Instapot without any added liquid for 25 minutes. I worried that it was the wrong choice, but it worked just fine. Nothing burned. There was still too much liquid perhaps. I started with beef steak tomatoes and red pepper. I did not add spices other than black pepper and some powdered garlic (very little flavor) as Elizabeth likes to add her own.
I took off the steam myself and then stirred a can of tomato paste into the hot cooked sauce. It seemed to thicken it a bit.
I was tempted to blend it smooth. However, I know I can do that with a small batch and see, so I froze it in chunk form.

Pretty much what I did last time. I used vine tomatoes that were very ripe and on sale. I had two sweet red peppers and added chopped onion and jarred garlic powder and turmeric.
I cooked on manual for 50 minutes. I let it take the steam off itself and opened after another half hour.
Seems just fine. I froze all of it, so I only have a taste. Luckily, Ellen remembered to bring me some jars. I filled them.
November 19,2019
Sautéed chopped red pepper and chopped sweet onion in olive oil with last of a cheap garlic powder and black pepper. Kept it plain as Elizabeth likes that better, and it turned out that she did.
Manual for 50 minutes.
Released steam myself this time.
Added in a jar of tomato paste.
Tossed some sauce over the zero everything pasta. Added Italian spice, Oregano and 4 mixture cheese. Micro wave for a minute. Very good.
