Healthy Instant Pot Lazy Lasagna Recipe

March 25, 2019 by DanicasDaily Leave a Comment

One thing I really wanted to try in my Instant Pot when I first got it was lasagna. I just did not really dig the idea of building all the layers in a round spring form pan. It seemed too ‘fancy’ for me. Enter this super easy healthy Instant Pot lazy lasagna recipe that does not require building a casserole and is ready in 30 minutes!

What’s not to love about Hot Italian Sausage, garlic, herbs, wine, spicy red sauce, big noodles…And a whole lotta cheesy goodness!

Did I mention that you get stringy cheese with every meaty, noodley bite of this 8 WWFreestyle Smartpoint Lasagna Casserole?!
