I've always loved lasagna, especially when company comes over. It was my mom's "go to company meal" when I was a kid. As I left her nest and started inviting friends and family to my own home, I started serving lasagna because it reminded me of the comfort and hospitality of my childhood. Instant Pot lasagna, also known as "lazy lasagna," is ready in under an hour.
Steps to make Quick and Easy Lasagna:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Meat Sauce: Cook ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat. When beef is browned and onion is tender, drain. Wipe out saucepan with a paper towel. Return meat to saucepan. Add pasta sauce and basil. Stir over medium-low heat until well blended. Turn to low heat and let simmer.
- Filling: Add egg to a medium bowl and whisk well. Add parmesean cheese, cottage cheese, and gently stir until well mixed.
- Spread about 1 cup of meat sauce over the bottom of a 4 quart baking dish. Add a single layer of lasagna noodles. Spread about 1 cup of the filling over noodles. Sprinkle about 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the filling. Note that you can use a little more or less than the 1 cup measurements here for the meat sauce and filling. I usually go a little sparingly on the first two layers so that the top layer will be the thickest.
- Repeat previous step to make a second layer. Repeat again to make a third and final layer, using all that remains of meat sauce, filling, and mozzarella.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Let stand for 5-10 minutes. Enjoy!
To make ahead, assemble the lasagna, but do not bake it. There are many MANY nights that I am craving the cheesy goodness of lasagna. I mean, what's not to love? All those layers of perfectly savory meat, cheese, and noodles….um, YUM. I make this recipe A LOT.
