Ingredients

• 8 oz pasta (penne, spaghetti, etc.)

3. Pressure Cook: Secure the lid and set the cooker to high pressure for 4–5 minutes (time may vary based on the pasta type).

Ingredients

• ½ cup rolled oats
• 1 cup water (or milk for creamier texture)

• 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 4 cups water or vegetable broth
• Optional: 1 medium onion (diced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 bay leaf, a pinch of chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste, and a squeeze of lime juice for brightness

4. Finish & Serve: Remove the bay leaf. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice if desired. For a thicker texture, blend a portion of the soup and stir it back in before serving.
