Instant Pot Pasta e Fagioli (Pasta & Beans)

Miranda | My Anosmic Kitchen
Pasta e Fagioli is yet another quick and easy Instant Pot recipe! This pasta & beans Italian recipe uses a few ingredients and the cooking time after the initial sauté is under 15 minutes! If I made this recipe on the stove top, it would take me around 40 minutes to an hour so making it in the IP is very convenient especially if you are wanting a wholesome homecooked meal. Feel free to omit the meat if you want a vegetarian option.
