BEST EVER Instant Pot Lasagna

April 4, 2019 by Kristin 95 Comments

All the flavors of the classic dish you love, made even easier using the Instant Pot! This Instant Pot Lasagna is delicious comfort food at its finest!

Now THIS recipe I am excited about! Why? Well, because of how simple and tasty this dish is!

Are you a lasagna fan? I sure am! Nothing better than a lasagna with garlic bread and salad or veggies! If you don’t have an Instant Pot, here is the oven version!

Last week, I decided to make lasagna for dinner. Since you can literally make just about anything in the Instant Pot, I decided to try lasagna! Using my 7 inch springform pan, I had this lasagna ready to go in under 10 minutes! I popped it into the Instant Pot, set the timer, and moved on. Minutes later, this was ready to devour and that we did!

The noodles were perfectly tender, the sauce was packed with flavor, and the cheese layer was my favorite. It had an herb flavor to it that really helped it stick out from the rest of the dish!

If you’ve ever made lasagna, you know that it can feed an army! That 9×13 pan lasts FOREVER, am I right?! Well, this Instant Pot version being made in the 7 inch pan, is just the right amount for my family of 5 to enjoy for dinner and have enough for lunch the next day! No more eating lasagna all week (unless you want to or have lots of people to feed, then see oven version above).

If you don’t have the springform pan, I highly recommend buying one because not only can you make this lasagna, but you can make my Chocolate Peanut Butter Instant Pot Cheesecake and BEST EVER Instant Pot Cheesecake. Double win, right?!

Hope you enjoy! Be sure to let me know what you think of it and rate it below!!
