Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Set your Instant Pot to the Sauté function. Add olive oil. When hot, add ground beef and onion. Cook until the meat is browned and the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and water. Stir well to combine everything.
  4. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Do not stir them in completely; try to keep them mostly submerged.
  5. Secure the lid and set the valve to Sealing. Cook on High Pressure (Manual/Pressure Cook) for 4 minutes.
  6. When the cooking time is complete, perform a Quick Release of the pressure.
  7. Carefully remove the lid. Stir the soup gently. The noodles should be tender.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the cheese melts into the soup.
  9. Stir in half of the mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy.
  10. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with the remaining mozzarella cheese, extra Parmesan, and fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, substitute the lasagna noodles with zucchini noodles added during the last 5 minutes of the manual pressure cooking time, or skip the pasta entirely.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute 1 cup of the beef broth with dry red wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes during the sauté step before adding the tomatoes.
  • This recipe works well as a lazy lasagna alternative when you need comfort food fast.
