Easy Instant Pot Lasagna No Springform Pan Food

EASY INSTANT POT LASAGNA

Steps:

• On Instant Pot, press Saute and wait until display says Hot. Takes 3-5 mins. Swirl oil to coat and add ground turkey. Start breaking into pieces with spatula.
• Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Keep cooking until brown or about 5 minutes, constantly breaking into small pieces and stirring.
• Press Cancel and remove half of ground turkey into a bowl. Time to layer lasagna.
• Layer #1: Add water and break 4 noodles in half and lay on top.
• Layer #2: Add half of kale and break 4 noodles in half and lay on top.
• Layer #3: Add ground turkey from the bowl, remaining half of kale and pour 14 oz can tomato sauce on top.
• Layer #4: Break 4 noodles in half and lay on top. Then pour remaining 14 oz can of tomato sauce.
• Pressure cook on high pressure for 7 minutes. Let pressure come down naturally for 10 minutes and then turn valve to Venting.
• When you open the lid, lasagna will be like a casserole, a bit saucy. Not soup though. The longer lasagna sits, the more it will be like lasagna as pasta absorbs the liquids and settles.
• Sprinkle cheese on top, cover and let lasagna sit for 5 minutes or until cheese has melted. Do not cook with cheese. Instant Pot stays warm for a while, especially if you have Keep Warm on. Covered pot is enough to melt the cheese.
• Cut with a spoon or spatula and serve hot. Keep warm to eat later. To reheat, add 1/4 cup of water and press pressure cook for 1 minute or Steam.

INSTANT POT LASGANA WITH A SPRINGFORM PAN

Steps:

• Push SAUTE button on the Instant Pot. Once it is hot (it will only take a few minutes), cook and stir Italian sausage until brown. (You could also do this step on the stove top, but it's just as easy to do it in the Instant Pot)
• Add onions and mushrooms; saute until onions are clear.
• Stir in spaghetti sauce, and heat through. Pour mixture into a bowl and set aside. Rinse out your pot.
• In a medium size bowl, combine cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and eggs.
• Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of a round 7-Inch Springform pan.
• Layer with 1/2 of the uncooked lasagna noodles, breaking the noodles so they cover all the sauce. Then add 1/2 of cheese mixture, 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 of the meat sauce. Continue layering until all ingredients are used or until your springform pan is filled to the top.
• Cover pan with aluminum foil.
• Place a trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add 1 cup of water on top of the trivet. Gently place your foil wrapped lasagna on top of the trivet.
• Push the PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL and set the timer for 24 minutes.
• When it is done, let it release on its own for a few minutes then turn the knob to VENTING to release all of the pressure.
• When the pressure is out, remove the lid and take out the lasagna.
• Add 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and broil in the oven for 2 minutes until the cheese it bubbly on top.
• Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

INSTANT POT LASAGNA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Set the Instant-Pot to sauté. Add the ground beef and cook for 5-6 minutes, until no longer pink. Add the onion, garlic, salt, oregano, and red pepper flakes and cook for 3-4 minutes more, until the onions are translucent. Add the tomato sauce and stir to combine, then carefully remove the insert from the Instant-Pot. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer the tomato sauce to a bowl and wash and dry the insert.
• In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, 1 cup (100 G) of mozzarella, ½ cup (55 G) of Parmesan, the parsley, and egg. Mix well.
• Add the olive oil to a 7-inch (17 cm) springform pan and brush in an even layer over the bottom.
• Arrange a layer of lasagna noodles on the bottom of the pan, breaking the noodles to fit if necessary. Top with a layer of sauce, then half of the ricotta mixture. Add another layer of noodles, sauce, and the rest of the ricotta. Finish with the remaining noodles and sauce. Cover the pan tightly with foil.
• Return the insert to the Instant-Pot and pour in the water. Place pan with the lasagna on a steamer rack trivet and carefully lower into the pot. Cover with the lid and twist to lock. Turn the steam valve to "sealing". Set to high pressure and cook for 24 minutes (it will take about 5 minutes to heat and pressurize).
• Once the cook time is finished, vent naturally for 15 minutes, then turn the quick release steam valve to "venting" and when the float valve has fully dropped, open the pressure cooker and carefully lift out the lasagna.
• Remove the foil and sprinkle top of the lasagna with the remaining ½ cup (50 G) mozzarella and ¼ cup (25 G) Parmesan.
• Turn the broiler to high. Broil the lasagna for 2-4 minutes, until the cheese on top is melted and golden brown.
• Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes, then place on a serving plate and carefully release the springform. Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!
