ingredients

1 ¹⁄₂ cups dried beans, soaked over night
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
2 cups onions, chopped
2 large celery ribs, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons dried basil
¹⁄₄ teaspoon red pepper flakes
5 cups boiling water
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup small shell pasta
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

directions

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.

Although I am a US citizen, I have spent most of my adult life living outside of the States. I've raised my family all over the world - and I have to say that my four kids are pretty terrific! I am always looking for recipes that only call for basic ingredients. Because I don't live in the US, I often can't find packages or this, or jars and cans of that, even certain spices can be tricky. My favorite cookbooks are the New Joy of Cooking, and anything by Nigela Lawson. My passions are cooking and eating - big surprise there. I have no pet peeves, I don't keep any peeves around long enough to make them into pets. I especially love baking, but I'm trying to get away from that - the carbs are starting to stick to my hips a little too easily. I took a Sushi making course recently. It was a lot of fun; I now know that I need to GO OUT for Sushi, not make it myself.
