Make It Now Cooking Directions

These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.

  1. **Due to the nature of pressure cooking there is always room for inconsistency. The times given here are based on 4 servings fresh. If you are using more servings you may need to increase your cooking time.**
  2. In a bowl combine ground beef, sausage, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
  3. In another bowl, stir together grated Parmesan and ricotta cheese.
  4. Pour 1/2 cup of sauce into the bottom of a springform pan. Use 1 pan per 4 servings.
  5. Top with enough lasagna noodles to cover the bottom, breaking apart as needed to help them fit.
  6. Layer meat sauce, ricotta cheese mixture, and then lasagna noodles ending with meat sauce on top.
  7. Cover top of lasagna with mozzarella cheese.
  8. Cover with foil.
  9. Add the trivet and minimum amount of water needed for your Instant Pot (1- 1.5 cups).
  10. Create a foil sling to lower the pan onto the trivet inside pot. Lock lid and seal steam nozzle.
  11. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
  12. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.
  13. Broil in the oven for a few minutes to brown the cheese, if desired.
