In Carico’s Ultra Cooker on “browning function”, without the lid heat olive oil. Sauté celery, onion, carrot, pancetta, and garlic until onions begin to brown. Stir in beans, herbs, tomatoes, and broth. Lock the Carico Ultra Cooker lid and select the “soup function” and cook. Allow pressure to drop naturally.

Once pressure drops on its own accord, check beans. If not yet soft, return pot to full pressure and cook for 1-2 minutes more, allowing pressure to again drop naturally. Remove Carico’s Ultra Cooker lid and stir in pasta. Simmer, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes or until pasta is tender. Serve up individual portions. Drizzle olive oil atop and garnish with a sprig of rosemary and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
