Awesome recipe! Takes a bit longer to prep than what is stated, but it’s worth it! Delish!
Delicious. Done, start to finish in hour and a half. Nice compact size, too. Pasta a skoshe under for my husband’s taste, but I prefer it under so reheating it makes it perfect not too musht.
The best lasagna ever! I used Italian sausage instead of hamburger meat. I also used classico sauce with italian sausage as well. Cant believe how much there was either, using a small pan. Will definitely make this once a week!
First time to make lasagna in IP. Pretty simple and good recipe. Made plenty for 2 of us. Came out looking pretty also.
So easy, and full of flavor
I didn’t use the no boil noodles and it came out terrific ♥️♥️♥️
This worked so well! Lots of lasagna and tasted wonderful. My only issue was it came out VERY salty. I’ll cut way back on the salt next time. Oh, and not use a “removable bottom” pan. The tomato sauce piddled all over. I’ll use a solid-bottom pan next time.
Nice, thank you for the recipe. I use this silicone trivet with heat-resistant handles and it’s so much better than the metal trivet that came with the instant pot. I got it on Amazon: https://amzn.to/35LvU9n
I cannot stand ricotta. Has anyone used something in its place? TIA!
@Susan Drake – I’m not a fan of ricotta either, or even cottage cheese which is a frequent substitute, so I mix softened cream cheese with egg and grated parmesan and mozzarella and I like it better – even though it’s not traditionally Italian. If I use the cottage cheese, I blend it in the a blender or food processor with the egg to give it a creamier texture, then stir in the cheese.
Thank you very much for this wonderful dish idea! For anyone who asked for Instant Pot accessories, check out this Amazon store – https://amzn.to/3rzTm7K
