The multi-numerous cooker’s features make it ideal for navigating the various cooking methods required to master this recipe. You’ll be ecstatic to learn how the pressure cooker saves time and reduces the need for dishwashing.

To make preparation quicker and more affordable, make use of my shortcuts by grabbing common pantry products.

Making spaghetti with vegetables in an instant pot (or pressure cooker)

  • Saute pancetta, garlic, onions, carrots, and celery to light brown and intensify their flavor.
  • Cook the dried pasta using high pressure for 3 minutes, and 10 minutes for natural release.
  • Add the canned cannellini and red kidney beans at the end of cooking just to warm them, keeping them intact and creamy in texture.

This noodle and bean soup has a lot of different ingredients, so some planning is necessary to get the ideal flavor and texture.

Pancetta, onions, celery, carrots, tomatoes, and dried pasta are examples of items that may endure quick-pressure cooking. However, to avoid microscopic legume explosions, the beans are only put at the very end.

The soup is prepared entirely in one pot using the Instant Pot for a quick and delectable outcome.

Ingredients For Instant pot pasta e Fagioli

  • Small dried pasta like shells or ditalini
  • Aromatics like garlic, onion, carrots, and celery
  • Canned diced tomatoes and paste
  • Canned cannellini and red kidney beans
  • Diced pancetta or bacon
  • Vegetable stock or broth
  • Bay leaf, thyme, oregano, and thyme

Convenience foods like canned beans and tomatoes remove the need for chopping and presoaking, saving time. Beans must often be cooked from scratch for several hours. When there’s a rush around dinnertime, I’m not scared to use a can opener.

Serve the flavorful soup with thick slices of garlic bread to sop it up!
