Add the dicedonion and sauté. for about 2 minutes, until it begins to soften. Add thebeef and sauté. for 3 minutes, using a wooden spoon to break up the meatas it cooks. Stir in the spice blend and sauté. for about 2 more minutes,until the beef is mostly cooked through and the spices are aromatic.
  • Pour in the broth, using a wooden spoon or spatula to nudge anybrowned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the pasta in an even layer,using the spoon to nudge the noodles under the liquid as much as possible.It’s fine if a few pieces are sticking up out of the water. Pour thetomatoes and their liquid and the kidney beans evenly over the groundbeef and pasta mixture. Do not stir them in.
  • Secure the lid and set the Pressure Release to Sealing. Press theCancel button to reset the cooking program, then select the PressureCook or Manual setting and set the cooking time for 6 minutes at highpressure.
