INSTANT POT LASAGNA SOUP

Here’s the thing about lasagna. It’s good, right? But sometimes it seems so overwhelming to make. Brown the meat, boil the pasta, prepare the sauce, mix together cheeses and ricotta, layer several times in a casserole dish, cook for an hour…blah blah blah. Well if you don’t want to go to all that trouble then you’re going to love this instant pot lasagna soup. Every part of this recipe is made in the Instant Pot, making it an easy one pot meal.

First you’ll brown some flavorful Italian sausage, onions and garlic using the sauté function of your instant pot. Then you’ll add in some tomatoes, seasonings and pasta and pressure cook for just 2 minutes. After the pressure is released ladle the soup into bowls and top with a bit of parmesan, mozzarella and a dollop of ricotta. It is a bowl of complete yumminess (with only about a quarter of the work and time).

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb ground Italian sausage (mild or hot, it’s up to you)
• 1 medium yellow or white onion, diced
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 green pepper, diced
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1/4 tsp basil
• 1/4 tsp marjoram

• 2 (14.5 oz) cans petite diced tomatoes
