Step 1

In an electric pressure cooker, combine the mixed vegetables, broth, tomatoes, beans, pasta, celery, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, basil, and olive oil. Stir to combine.

Step 2

Place the lid on the cooker and make sure the vent valve is in the SEALING position. Using the display panel, select the MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK function and HIGH PRESSURE, and use the +/- buttons until the display reads 5 minutes.

Step 3

When the cooker beeps to let you know it's finished, switch the vent valve from the SEALING to the VENTING position, administering a quick release. Use caution while the steam escapes-it's hot. Stir in Parmesan, fresh basil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
