Sloppy Lasagna Instant Pot Recipes

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and the select Saute function. Heat olive oil; add ground beef and salt. Cook, breaking it into clumps with a spatula, until thoroughly browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer beef to a bowl. Wash the pot and return it to the machine.
• Pour 1 1/2 cup water into the pot. Set the metal trivet inside.
• Arrange lasagna pieces over the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan. Ladle 1/3 the tomato sauce on top; add 1/3 of the cooked beef and 1/3 of the fresh spinach. Dollop 1/2 the mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat layers using 1/2 the goat cheese. Repeat once more, finishing with remaining mozzarella and goat cheese on top.
• Tent the top of the lasagna loosely with aluminum foil. Lower it gently onto the trivet. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Transfer the springform pan carefully to a baking sheet. Broil until cheese on top is lightly browned and bubbling, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Select browning and add a tablespoon butter and olive oil to the pressure cooking pot.
• When butter has melted, add onion, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally until onion has softened. Stir in the carrot and celery.
• Move the contents to the side of the pressure cooker. Add the beef and garlic and stir to break up. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the beef is brown on at least one side and the juices have evaporated, about 5 minutes. Pour in the crushed tomatoes.
• Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker. Cook at high pressure for 18 minutes. When beep sounds turn pressure cooker offer and use a quick pressure release. When valve drops carefully remove the lid.
• Remove and discard the herb stems. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the sauce and stir until melted.
• Add the salt and lasagna strips to the sauce in the pressure cooking pot. Pour in enough water to cover the pasta. I added a cup of water. Smooth down the top pieces of pasta so they are submerged.
• Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker. Cook at low pressure for 5 minutes, or half the cooking time indicated on the pasta package. when beep sounds, turn pressure cooker off and use a quick pressure release. When valve drops carefully remove the lid. Taste the noodles and if you'd like them a little softer, cook on simmer until the noodles are tender.
• Pour the lasagna into a large serving dish. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the lasagna and stir. Let stand, uncovered for 2 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Break all of the pasta sheets into irregular, larger than single bite-sized pieces. Salt the water, then add the pasta and cook to a little shy of al dente. Drain and set aside in a large bowl.
• Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a heavy bottomed pot or large skillet over medium heat. Add the meat, press it into an even layer and brown it for 3 to 4 minutes before moving. Turn the meat and add the onions and grated carrot. Stir and cook a few minutes to soften, then add the garlic, bay leaves, salt and pepper, to taste, and the cinnamon. Cook for a couple of minutes, then stir in the tomato paste, wait for 1 minute then add the wine. Reduce for a minute more, then add the tomatoes, breaking them up as you stir. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the basil.
• While the sauce simmers, in a medium sauce pot, melt the butter over medium heat and whisk in the flour. Cook for 1 minute, then whisk in the milk and nutmeg, and season with salt, pepper, to taste. Let cook for a couple of minutes to thicken, then stir in 1/2 cup of the grated cheese and turn off the heat.
• Heat a broiler.
• Add the meat sauce to the bowl with the pasta and toss. Layer half of the pasta into a lasagna pan and scatter with dollops of fresh ricotta cheese. Top with remaining pasta. Pour the white sauce over the pasta and scatter the remaining 1 cup of the grated cheese over the top. Put under the broiler to brown and bubble. Remove from the broiler and serve.

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!
