Preparation

Step 1

1.) Create Ricotta Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat one large egg, then add in ¾ cup Ricotta cheese. Season with 1 tsp Italian seasoning, ground black pepper, and ⅓ tsp kosher salt.

2.) Assemble Instant Pot Lasagna: Line a 7-inch spring-form pan with cut-out parchment paper (optional). Break the uncooked oven-ready lasagna noodles into smaller pieces, then layer them at bottom of the pan in a single layer. Layer ⅓ portion of the meat sauce on the lasagna noodles. Layer Ricotta cheese mixture on the meat sauce, then add shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat this layering cycle twice. Add ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese on the very top. Then, wrap the springform pan tightly with aluminum foil.

3.) Pressure Cook Lasagna: Pour 1 cup cold water, then place a trivet in Instant Pot. Create a sling foil, then place springform pan in Instant Pot. Close lid, then pressure cook at High Pressure for 24 minutes + 10 minutes Natural Release.
