Equipment

• Instant Pot Pressure Cooker
• Fat Daddio 7 x 3 inch Cake Pan (removable bottom)

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce (sugar-free)
• 1/4 cup tomato paste
• 1/4 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thin rounds
• 1/2 cup water

Instructions 

• Set your Instant Pot to sauté mode and add the olive oil. Once it’s hot, add the ground beef or Italian sausage and cook until browned, stirring frequently.
• Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté for a few minutes until softened.
• Stir in the marinara sauce, tomato paste, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and turn off the sauté mode.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the shredded mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese.
• Spread a layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Top with a layer of zucchini slices, then spread half of the cheese mixture on top.
• Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of meat sauce on top.
• Pour 1/2 cup of water into the pot, making sure to pour it around the edges and not on top of the lasagna.
• Close the Instant Pot lid and set the pressure valve to “sealing.” Cook on manual/high pressure for 12 minutes.
• Once the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully turn the pressure valve to “venting” to release any remaining pressure.
• Open the lid and use a spatula to remove the lasagna. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
