Pressure Cooker Spinach Lasagna Recipe 475

Steps:

• Combine the Ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper in a medium-size bowl. Place 1 cup of the marinara and 1/4 cup of vegetable stock into the bottom of the Microwave Pressure Cooker and stir together. Take 3 halves of the lasagna noodles and place them next to each other on top of the marinara. Carefully spread half of the Ricotta mixture over the lasagna. Sprinkle 1-1/2 cups of spinach over the Ricotta. Sprinkle 1 cup of Mozzarella over the spinach. Spread 1/2 cup of marinara over the Mozzarella. Pour a 1/4 cup of vegetable stock over the Mozzarella and marinara. Take 3 halves of the lasagna noodles and place them next to each other over the spinach. Push them towards you, so you can fill the empty space with a fourth noodle (laying in the opposite direction). Spread the remaining Ricotta over the noodles, the remaining spinach on top, and then pour the remaining stock over the spinach. Place the remaining noodles next to each other over the spinach and spread the remaining marinara on top. Put the lid on the pressure cooker and lock it in place. Microwave on high for 30 minutes. When the pressure has dropped naturally, unlock and open the lid. Sprinkle with the remaining Mozzarella. Cover again; let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and the select Saute function. Heat olive oil; add ground beef and salt. Cook, breaking it into clumps with a spatula, until thoroughly browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer beef to a bowl. Wash the pot and return it to the machine.
• Pour 1 1/2 cup water into the pot. Set the metal trivet inside.
• Arrange lasagna pieces over the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan. Ladle 1/3 the tomato sauce on top; add 1/3 of the cooked beef and 1/3 of the fresh spinach. Dollop 1/2 the mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat layers using 1/2 the goat cheese. Repeat once more, finishing with remaining mozzarella and goat cheese on top.
• Tent the top of the lasagna loosely with aluminum foil. Lower it gently onto the trivet. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Transfer the springform pan carefully to a baking sheet. Broil until cheese on top is lightly browned and bubbling, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• In the opened pressure cooker, add the oil and heat at medium until it just begins to smoke. Add the onions, ground beef, salt, and pepper and continue cooking until the onions become transluscent and the beef has browned.
• Add the pasta sauce and water to the beef and onions. Stir and remove from heat into a large bowl.
• In another bowl, mix the ricotta, eggs, parmesan, garlic, seasoning, and some more salt and pepper as desired.
• Fill the bottom of the cooled pressure cooker with 1/4 inch of water. Layer with a fifth of the beef and sauce into the bottom then top with noodles. Cover the noodles with a third of the cheese. Cover the cheese with another layer of sauce, then noodles. Repeat until all layers have been used. The final layer should be noodles topped with sauce.
• Lock the lid and bring to high pressure. Reduce heat to level to maintain high pressure and cook for 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, quick release pressure and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Serve from the pressure cooker pot with some crusty bread.
