Add the minced beef and garlic. Cook until the mince is browned. If anything sticks to the bottom of the pot, use some of the hot stock to scrape it off (with a wooden or silicon spatula).
Add the celery and carrots if using, followed by the chopped tomatoes (or passata), tomato puree, dried mixed herbs, beef stock and salt and pepper, according to taste.
Give everything a good stir to combine.
Switch the saute function off and secure the lid on the pressure cooker. Set it to high pressure for 10 minutes.
While the bolognese is cooking, prepare the spaghetti according to package instructions.
Once the cooking time is up, use the quick release function to release the pressure. If the bolognese sauce is too runny, switch the Foodi back to saute and simmer until it has thickened.
Serve the bolognese over the cooked spaghetti and top with grated Parmesan cheese.
This Ninja Foodi Bolognese recipe is the perfect solution for those busy weeknights when you need a delicious and satisfying meal ready quickly!
