Instant Pot Lasagna

I love how so many different things can be made in the Instant Pot. That includes making lasagna! Yes, you can make Instant Pot Lasagna. You can even get good edges on it.  To make lasagna in the InstaPot, you will need a Instant Pot Springform Pan and Instant Pot Trivet   The Instant Pot comes with a trivet, or you can replace it with a heavier duty one.

Instant Pot Lasagna

Instant Pot Lasagna casserole is the perfect dish for two since the springform pans tend to be small.  

This lasagna is made in about 55 minutes, and you do not have to preboil noodles. You can also prepare the the lasagna, freeze it, and then put it straight into the pot later for a quick dinner.

Can’t find no-boil lasagna noodles? Actually, using regular ones will normally work, just make sure that they get coated in sauce. Want to have some fun? Use garlic bread and make it look like a rabbit!

The lasagna is made by mixing Ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl.  You can use cottage cheese instead of Ricotta if desired. Meanwhile, ground beef and seasoning are heated on saute mode in the Instant Pot.

Arrange lasagna noodles in the pan and layer up your lasagna with meat, cheese, sauce, and noodles. Tent the pan with foil to keep water out and pressure cook for 20 minutes followed by natural release.  

The lasagna is browned under a broiler in the oven or if you have the Instant Pot Vortex, or an Instant Omni you can pop it in there!
