Instant Pot Lazy Lasagna

March 29, 2022 Amanda Plott

I don’t know about you, but we have just two months left until Summer break and I am digging deep to try and muster the energy to get us there. As we’re getting ready for Summer, I’m doing everything I can to make life a bit more easy and low maintenance. This Instant Pot Lazy Lasagna fits the bill for exactly what it says it is: lasagna on the lazy.

So if you’re feeling a hankering for lasagna, but don’t want to fuss with the layers and pots and pans that go along with it, this Instant Pot version is where it’s at! Plus, as usual, I made it just a little bit more healthified along the way too!

To make this Instant Pot Lazy Lasagna a little lighter, I used whole wheat lasagna noodles and mostly fat free cheeses. I also subbed regular sausage for a vegetarian one because I happened to get it on sale. But a lean turkey sausage would work as well. That’s pretty much it. This lasagna is super simple to make and delish too!

The only thing that I would do any different next time would be to break my noodles up just a little bit more than I did; one lasagna noodle into four pieces would be best.
