Meatball Tip: For the best flavor, use homemade Italian meatballs. However, high-quality frozen meatballs can be substituted if desired. If using frozen meatballs, add an extra minute to the initial pressure cooking time. Pasta Note: Keep a close watch on the pasta during the second pressure cooking cycle to prevent it from becoming overcooked. Adjust the cooking time as needed based on your preferred pasta texture. Broth Variation: For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. Store-bought broth works perfectly well. Storage Instructions: Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
