Ingredients
For this lasagna recipe in the Instant Pot, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 2 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
- 1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 9 lasagna noodles
Instructions
To make this lasagna in the Instant Pot, start by setting the Instant Pot to the “Saute” setting. Add the ground beef, onion, bell pepper, garlic, and Italian seasoning to the pot and cook until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to the pot and stir to combine. Turn off the “Saute” setting and set the Instant Pot to “Manual” for 15 minutes.
In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
Spray the bottom of the Instant Pot insert with nonstick cooking spray. Layer 3 lasagna noodles on the bottom of the pot, breaking them as needed to fit. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles. Top with half of the meat sauce. Then, layer 3 more noodles over the sauce. Spread the remaining ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles and top with the remaining meat sauce. Layer the remaining 3 noodles over the sauce.
Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and turn the vent to the sealing position. Cook on “Manual” for 15 minutes. When the cooking time is up, let the Instant Pot naturally release for 10 minutes. Then, carefully quick-release the remaining pressure.
Remove the lid from the Instant Pot and let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before serving.
