Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
- 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
- 24 oz marinara sauce
- 15 oz ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Select the sauté function on your Instant Pot. Brown the ground beef or sausage until fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in marinara sauce and Italian seasoning, cooking for an additional 3 minutes.
- Turn off the sauté function and layer half of the meat sauce at the bottom of the pot. Add a layer of broken lasagna noodles, dollops of ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and more meat sauce. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
- Securely close the lid and set to cook on high pressure for 25 minutes. Allow for natural pressure release.
- Carefully release any remaining pressure, then sprinkle additional mozzarella and Parmesan on top before sealing briefly to melt the cheese.
- Let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
