Instant Pot Lasagna with Spinach and Goat Cheese

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Lasagna with Spinach and Goat Cheese.

1. Step 1

   Start by setting your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' function and drizzle in some olive oil.

2. Step 2

   Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef along with a pinch of salt.

3. Step 3

   Cook the beef for about six minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s beautifully browned.

4. Step 4

   As it cooks, use a spatula to break the meat into smaller pieces, ensuring it cooks evenly.

5. Step 5

   When the beef is ready, transfer it to a bowl and give the pot a quick rinse to clean it out.

6. Step 6

   Next, pour in 1 and 1/2 cups of water and place the metal trivet inside the pot.

7. Step 7

   Now, grab a 6-inch springform pan and start layering your lasagna.

8. Step 8

   Begin by arranging the broken lasagna noodles at the bottom of the pan.

9. Step 9

   Spread one-third of the marinara sauce over the noodles, followed by one-third of the cooked beef and a generous handful of fresh spinach.

10. Step 10

    Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on top to create a deliciously cheesy layer.

11. Step 11

    Repeat this layering process: add another third of the marinara sauce, the remaining beef, the rest of the spinach, and half of the goat cheese.

12. Step 12

    For the final touch, pour the last of the marinara sauce over everything, then top it off with the remaining mozzarella and goat cheese.

13. Step 13

    To prepare for cooking, loosely cover the top of the lasagna with aluminum foil.

14. Step 14

    Carefully lower the springform pan onto the trivet in the Instant Pot.

15. Step 15

    Secure the lid and set the pot to high pressure for 20 minutes.

16. Step 16

    It will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up, so sit back and relax during this time.

17. Step 17

    Once the cooking time is up, use the natural release method as per your Instant Pot’s instructions, which may take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes.

18. Step 18

    When the pressure has fully released, unlock the lid and lift it off.

19. Step 19

    Preheat your oven’s broiler, positioning the rack about six inches from the heat source.

20. Step 20

    Gently transfer the springform pan onto a baking sheet and place it under the broiler for about five minutes.

21. Step 21

    Keep an eye on it as you wait for the cheese to turn a lovely golden brown and start bubbling.

22. Step 22

    And there you have it—a delicious, hearty lasagna made effortlessly in your Instant Pot! Enjoy every cheesy, flavorful bite!.
