Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 25oz jar spaghetti sauce of your choice
  • 2-3 cups water this will vary a bit based on which noodles you use. You want the noodles to JUST barely cover the noodles, or you will have soup.
  • 4 cups dry mini lasagna noodles (mafalda noodles)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 cup cottage cheese or ricotta
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Method
 

  1. Select the sauté function. Once the pot is hot, add the ground beef, salt, and pepper. When the beef is mostly browned, add the onions and garlic, cooking until the onions are translucent. Drain any excess grease and scrape the bottom of the pot to prevent a burn warning.
  2. Press cancel. Stir in the sauce until well combined.
  3. Layer the noodles over the meat and sauce mixture.
  4. Pour the water over the noodles without stirring. Gently press down any noodles that are not fully submerged.
  5. Secure the lid and set the valve to the sealing position. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes.
  6. Perform a quick pressure release once the cycle ends. If foam spurts out, toggle the valve closed for 3 seconds and open for 3 seconds repeatedly until the spurting stops.
  7. Stir in the cottage cheese.
  8. Sprinkle mozzarella on top. Replace the lid to trap the heat and let the dish sit until the cheese is completely melted.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

Meat Variations: I sometimes swap the ground beef for spicy Italian sausage when I want a bolder flavor profile, or ground turkey for a lighter version of this comfort classic.
