Description

This Instant Pot Lasagna is a crowd-pleaser with its rich flavors and easy preparation. Packed with layers of cheese and savory meat, it’s a perfect choice for weeknight dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground chicken or ground italian sausage meat
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 24 oz jar pasta sauce or marinara sauce
  • 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, 1/2 cup mozzarella, parmesan, basil, thyme, oregano, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
  2. In the Instant Pot, heat olive oil using the saute function. Add diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until onion is translucent.
  3. Add the ground meat and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  4. Stir in the pasta sauce and mix thoroughly.
  5. Layer the lasagna by placing 3 no-boil noodles on top of the meat sauce, followed by half of the cheese mixture, and repeat the layers. Finish with 3 more noodles and the remaining sauce on top.
  6. Pour 1 1/2 cups of water into the Instant Pot, ensuring it doesn't touch the lasagna.
  7. Seal the lid and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. Once done, allow for natural release for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
  8. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, replace meat with extra vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms.
You can adjust the cheese types based on your preference.
This dish can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for easy reheating.
