Instant Pot Lazy Lasagna
When you love lasagna, but don't want to go to the trouble of layering and baking it-> make Instant Pot Lazy Lasagna! All the comfort and flavors without the fuss.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup onione diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 15 oz tomato sauce
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 9 oz lasagna noodles
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Turn the instant pot to the SAUTE function. When hot, add the ground beef with a pinch of sea salt and sauté until almost fully cooked.
- Add in the diced onion and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Next, pour in the can of tomato sauce and seasonings. Stir to combine and cancel the SAUTE function.
- Break the lasagna noodles into pieces and add to the meat sauce. Stir to combine, then add 2-2.5 cups of water (you want it to just barely cover the noodles - too much will turn it into soup). Stir and press the noodles down as much as possible.
- Cook on MANUAL high pressure for 4 minutes, then do a quick release once done. Stir and allow the lasagna to rest and the liquid to absorb for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the toppings.
- Blend the cottage cheese with an immersion blender or in a blender with 1/3 cup water to thin it until smooth. Have the shredded cheese ready to go.
- Now serve up your lasagna! Spoon onto a plate or in a bowl, add the blended cottage cheese, mozzarella, and freshly minced basil.
