Notes

  • Use no-boil lasagna noodles as they cook quickly in the Instant Pot without needing prior boiling.
  • Be sure to tightly cover the springform pan with sprayed foil to prevent water from seeping into the lasagna during pressure cooking.
  • The recipe is adapted for Instant Pot cooking but uses traditional lasagna layering for familiar texture and flavor.
