Instructions
Wash your hands and all produce before preparing.
Set the Instapot to saute mode for 8 minutes and add the pancetta. Brown on all sides, turning occasionally. Remove it from the pot to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain off all but ~ 1 Tbsp. of the fat.
While the pot is still hot, add the onions, carrot, and garlic and saute for an additional 2 minutes.
Add the beans and chicken broth. Seal the InstaPot and set it to the soup/stew setting on high pressure for 40 minutes. Make sure the release valve is set to "sealed"
Once it is done, allow the steam to release naturally. This will take an additional ~30 minutes.
Once the steam is fully released, open and add the tomatoes, pasta, basil, and oregano and set it on the "rice mode for 12 minutes. Once it is done you can either allow the steam to release naturally or manually express it.
