Vegan Pressure Cooker Pasta Fagioli Recipes

VEGAN PRESSURE COOKER PASTA FAGIOLI

Steps:

• Rinse and drain your soaked beans. Set aside.
• Heat oil in the cooker. Cook the onion until just beginning to soften - 2 minutes or so. Add the garlic and continue to cook another 30 seconds. Add the remaining veggies, dry spices, reserved beans and boiling water. Lock the lid in place.
• Bring up to high pressure. Reduce heat until just enough to maintain pressure. Cook at high pressure for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and allow pressure to reduce naturally.
• Remove bay leaf. Stir in tomato paste and pasta. Continue cooking over medium high heat (not under pressure) for 7 minutes, or until pasta is cooked.Stir in the vinegar. Top each serving with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast.

PASTA E FAGIOLI

Steps:

• Drain the beans and bring to the boil in a pan of salted water. Cook for 10 mins, drain, rinse and put in a slow cooker with the onions, carrots and celery.
• Stir in the olive oil, garlic, stock, tomatoes, half a can of water and the miso. Tie the herbs together with kitchen string and add these as well. Season. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hrs, until the beans are cooked through and all of the veg is really tender.
• Remove and discard the herbs and stir in the pasta. Cover and cook on high for another 30 mins. Add the cavolo nero stalks and leaves and cook for a final 30-40 mins, or until the pasta is cooked through and the greens are tender. Serve scattered with the cheese and drizzled with a little more olive oil, if you like.

VEGAN PASTA E FAGIOLE

Steps:

• Set a large soup pot over medium-low heat. Add olive oil. When hot, add the onion. Saute until soft, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, rosemary, and smoked paprika. Saute, stirring constantly, for one more minute.
• Add TWO cans of beans to the pot, liquid included.
• Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture right in the pot (you can also puree in a blender and return the mixture to the pot).
• Drain the remaining can of beans and add to the pot, along with the broth, tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil.
• Once boiling, add the pasta. Cook until al dente (the exact time depends on package directions - usually about 8 minutes).
• Taste, adding more salt and pepper if necessary.
• Ladle into bowls and top with a drizzle of olive oil, parmesan (for the non-vegans) or vegan parmesan if using, and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Don't forget the crusty bread served alongside!

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add butter, olive oil, carrots, shallot, and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes. Add prosciutto and saute for 3 minutes. Mix in chicken broth, cannellini beans, and pasta.
• Prepare a bouquet garni by placing rosemary, bay leaf, and thyme onto a piece of cheesecloth. Secure cheesecloth with butcher's twine. Add to the soup.
• Cancel Saute mode. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 7 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Season soup with garlic granules and truffle salt. Remove bouquet garni prior to serving.
