- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 zucchini, diced

Instructions
- Sauté Sausage and Vegetables: Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and add olive oil. Once hot, add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks until browned. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent. Then add carrots and celery, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes.

- Cook: Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 5 minutes. Make sure the valve is set to the sealing position.
- Quick Release: Once cooking is complete, perform a quick release for the pressure.
- Add Pasta and Beans: Open the lid and stir in the cannellini beans and gluten-free pasta. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and simmer for about 6-8 minutes, until the pasta is cooked to your desired tenderness.
- Add Greens: Stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt into the soup for a couple of minutes.
- Serve: Ladle the minestrone into bowls, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
