Easy and Delicious Pasta e Fagioli (Instant Pot or Stovetop)

Ingredients

• 1/2 medium onion, diced
• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 large carrots, sliced
• 2 large celery stalks, sliced
• 2 cans petite diced tomatoes
• 1 can northern beans, drained
• 1 can kidney beans, drained
• 24 oz jar spaghetti sauce
• 1 quart (4 c) beef broth
• 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1/2 cup uncooked ditalini pasta

Instructions

To Prepare in the Instant Pot:
1. In the insert pot of an Instant Pot, add ground beef and onion. Use the Saute function, browning the beef and cooking the onions until they begin to soften.
2. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine (I use a 6-qt pot, but if you use a smaller pressure cooker, you may need to adjust contents to avoid over-filling).
3. Secure lid onto the Instant Pot and set the vent to the sealed position. Press "Cancel" to turn off the Saute function, then use the Manual or Pressure Cook function to select a cook time of 3 minutes at high pressure.
4. Once cook time is complete, you can perform a quick release or natural release of pressure. Once the pressure has released and the valve has dropped, carefully remove lid and stir contents.
5. Serve and enjoy!

To Prepare on the Stove Top:
1. In a stockpot, add ground beef and onion. Cook over medium heat until beef is browned and onions are beginning to soften.
2. Add carrots, celery, tomatoes, and spaghetti sauce. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
3. Add beans, broth, oregano, basil, parsley, and pasta. Continue to simmer until carrots and celery are tender and pasta is cooked to al dente, about 45 minutes.
4. Serve and enjoy!
