How to Make Instant Pot Lasagna

Turn on the instant pot to the sauté function and add the Italian sausage until you see brown bits. When done, drain the grease and set the sausage aside. Next, add olive oil to the pot to brown the garlic. Then pour the beef broth and ensure the garlic is not stuck at the bottom of the pot. Add the marinara sauce, ground sausage, salt and pepper into the pot and stir. Add broken lasagna noodles and submerge.

Time to cook! Close and lock the lid.

Release using the quick-release method. Add the ricotta cheese and stir. Serve in bowls with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top (optional but delicious!) and enjoy! Tip: If you don’t plan on eating this immediately, you can simply turn the Instant Pot on “Keep Warm” mode and let it sit until dinner time.

Storing/Reheating Leftovers

Refrigerator: Store leftover lasagna in an airtight container and in the refrigerator. If stored properly, leftover lasagna can last up to 2-3 days. Freezer: You can also store leftover lasagna in a freezer bag or another freeze safe container and keep it in the freezer. If stored properly, it should last up to six months in the freezer. Reheating: Reheat in a skillet on the stove until warm or in a microwave-safe container in the microwave.

Ingredient substitutions

Lasagna noodles: You can use regular lasagna noodles or oven-ready lasagna noodles. Either way, you are using uncooked noodles.

Vegetables: You can add a small onion and green pepper, finely chopped up, along with the minced garlic. This will add even more flavor. You can also add mushrooms to the Instant Pot if you’d like! Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top instead of Parmesan cheese. Beef broth: You can use vegetable broth or chicken broth instead of beef if that’s what you have on hand.
