Pressure Cooker Cauliflower Ragu

Try this quick and delicious cauliflower ragu made with cupboard ingredients. Together, they are just as rich as what you'd usually get from the classic slow-cooked meat sauce.

Substitutes:

  • No pressure cooker? Use a slow cooker or saucepan instead. It’s ready when the pasta is cooked.
