Important Note: This recipe is best when made on the stovetop. Cooking your pasta in the instant pot is finicky and can give you mushy pasta! We don’t recommend making this in the instant pot and it saves you no time vs stovetop method.

Expect a rich, savory tomato broth, beautifully seasoned with aromatic garlic, minced onion, and a traditional medley of dried basil, parsley, and oregano.
