Ingredients

1 lb. bow tie pasta

1 cup fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
½ cup olive oil
2 tsp black pepper
Salt, as needed

Nothing screams summer quite like fresh tomatoes and cold, tangy pasta salad! Ditch the heavy mayonnaise and mustard with this light and refreshing bruschetta pasta. Feel free to substitute with any tomatoes you have on hand. Seasonal ones will be sweeter, and adding different colors will help the final dish pop!

INSTRUCTIONS

Place pasta in the inner pot. Pour enough vegetable broth, or water, so the noodles are just covered. Add in 2 tsp of salt. Stir to ensure all the noodles are coated.
Pressure Cook on High for 3 Minutes. Quickly release any remaining pressure, careful to watch for any pasta foam coming from the release valve. If so, close the valve for 30 Seconds and then continue releasing pressure.
While the pasta is cooking, add tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, and remaining salt.
Strain the cooked pasta and rinse under cold water. Add the cooled pasta to the mixing bowl. Stir to combine and season with black pepper and additional salt to taste.
