I love Italian food. I also love soup. So I figured why not combine two of my favorite things?
I got a pressure cooker for Christmas and I’m having so much fun experimenting with it.
It’s amazing to me that food can be cooked so quickly and turn out SO GOOD!!!
If you don’t have one and you’re thinking about getting one, I highly recommend it. If you don’t want to spend the money on an Instant Pot the Crock Pot version has many of the same features.
My husband was quite happy with this recipe overall. Not only did he love the soup, but he loved the clean up too.
Everything was cooked in the Instant Pot. The noodles alone would normally be a pot to cook in and the colander. He said it was one of the best meals I’ve made with the least amount of clean up. I’ll take that as a win!
I added 1 oz. part-skim mozzarella cheese to my soup which added 2 points. You can leave it off if you don’t want to add the points.

October 3, 2020 at 7:25 pmSo I made this tonight & entered it in the WW app changing some things like using a clove of garlic , chopping an onion , omitting the basil & oregano , & using 4 oz of full size penne & could not understand why it was seven points . Until I reread the recipe & saw you only used 6 oz out of 1 1b of Italian Sausage 😂😂
