Some people get nervous when cooking pasta in the Instant Pot. I understand that pasta can be so finicky. However, there’s nothing to fear. Just follow the recipe as written, and your pasta will come out perfect.
Step by step instructions
First, turn on the saute mode on the pressure cooker. You want to saute the vegetables for three or four minutes, or until they are almost tender. Next, add in the garlic and continue cooking the vegetables for an additional minute.
Once the vegetables are finished cooking you need to add in the next seven ingredients. This means the chicken stock, tomato puree, garbanzo beans, pasta, parsley, basil, and oregano all get dumped into the pot. Give it all a good stir.
Cooking Time
Now it’s time to start cooking! Place the lid on the Instant Pot and turn the valve to seal. It’s a little tricky for the soup to come to full pressure if you don’t seal off the pot, so make sure you don’t forget this step. Use the manual setting to select high pressure and set the time for eight minutes. At the end of the cook time, you need to use a quick pressure release.
Once the pressure has cleared, remove the lid and stir in the baby spinach. That’s it. You are finished! Do you smell that? Isn’t it amazing?
Really, can it get any easier? This recipe is perfect for those busy weeknights. No drive-thru or takeout for your family! Not when you have this recipe in your arsenal. Isn’t the Instant Pot amazing? Even the most stressful evenings can be made better with a hearty bowl of warm, flavorful Minestrone Soup.
