Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 1.5 tsp Italian herb spices
  • 0.5 tsp garlic seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 25 oz (700ml) jar of marinara / herb spaghetti sauce
  • 1 cup (250g) cottage or ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup (100g) grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup (120g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 box of oven-ready lasagna noodles

Instructions

  • Turn the Instant Pot on to sauté, add the ground beef and brown.
  • Remove any liquid from the beef and add in Italian seasoning, onion powder and garlic powder and switch off the heat. Stir in the spaghetti sauce.
  • Mix the cheeses together in a small bowl.
  • Grab a 7-inch springform pan and layer ingredients:
    Start with noodles broken up to fit the pan, and then one third of the ground beef mixture and 1 third of the cheese. Repeat with a 2nd layer starting again with the noodles, then meat sauce then cheese. Finally make your 3rd layer and Cover the lasagna with foil.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups of water to Instant Pot. Put the covered lasagna pan on top of trivet and lower into the Instant Pot insert.
  • Place the lid on top and close. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual pressure cook button to 20 mins.
  • Once the timer beeps let the pressure release naturally for 10 mins then quick pressure release.
  • Carefully remove the lasagna from the Instant Pot. Remove foil and cook under the broiler for a few mins until the cheese is brown and bubbly.

Notes

Instant Pot Lasagna Tips
  • Cook time does not include time to come up to pressure or for pressure to release.
  • Covering the lasagna will help with any condensation that may occur in the Instant Pot.
  • Break the lasagna noodles into pieces to fit into the pan and don’t worry about perfection.
  • You can customise by adding various veggies and different meat like Italian sausage or ground turkey.
  • You can swap out cottage cheese for ricotta cheese.
