Instant Pot Lazy Lasagna

We were really in a cooking rut.  I am sure you know what I am talking about, I think we have all been in a cooking rut at some point in our lives.  Since I have started cooking with my instant pot, I have tried so many new delicious dishes. I also love using my instant pot to make delicious vegetable side dishes.  Vegetables have been making many frequent appearances in my house and with 4 boys, you can imagine how happy this momma is. Two of my boys were fighting for the last of my Instant Pot Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butternut Squash.  My Instant Pot Mexican Street Corn was also a huge hit.

What Is Lazy Lasagna

 

This is what I like to call a “throw it together” type of meal. In traditional lasagna, you have layers of noodles, meat sauce, cheese, etc. In my Instant Pot Lazy Lasagna you have all the flavors of lasagna but not in a pie form shape at the end. You grab a spoon and dump a pile of lasagna on a plate, vs slice and serve up.

It has a messier appearance but trust me the flavor wins hands down! It saves you so much time from creating the layered look, and your family won’t care about presentation. It reminds me of a skillet dish where you mix, cook, serve!

Can I Substitute the Red Wine in Instant Pot Lasagna?

Yes! Instead of the red wine just use more beef broth! I know some households don’t drink one or cook with it so just add in broth to replace the wine!

I like the red wine as it adds a depth of flavor with a slight zing. I have made this recipe without wine and it is still really good. So feel free to swap out the ingredient if you need to.

Can I Double or Triple Size of Instant Pot Lasagna Recipe?

Yes! This is a recipe that works great at doubling or tripling in size. I have made it as a triple and it worked great, I just used my larger Instant Pot so it could hold it all!

What Type of Pasta To Use For Lazy Lasagna?

The beauty of this non-traditional recipe is you can step out from traditional lasagna noodles if you want. We personally use Campanelle pasta, my kids go crazy over the shape. You are welcome to play around with the noodles. Use traditional broken up lasagna noodles or step out.

Just aim to have a pasta that holds up well when cooked in the Instant Pot. As you know some pasta isn’t a good fit. Fresh pasta, small sized pasta, etc.

What to Serve With Your Lasagna

I have a few go-to’s. I generally do a chopped green salad or some type of garlic bread or breadsticks. The salad helps counteract the heaviness of a pasta dish. And the breadsticks or garlic bread are tasty but also great for soaking up any of the juicy sauce that remains on the plate! I love garlic bread dipped into lasagna!

So there you have it! Another quick and easy meal you can make any day of the week. Perfect for your family or to serve guests!

Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think. The flavors are epic and it is a little different than a traditional pasta lasagna!
