Spinach Mushroom Lasagna – Instant Pot

A new cooking technique for the good-old lasagna? This spinach mushroom lasagna is layered with spinach, mushrooms, garlic and cheeses and then pressure cooked in the Instant Pot! Soft-cooked noodles with the goodness of sautéed vegetables, cheese and spices makes it a delicious and filling meal. 

This spinach mushroom lasagna was on our repeat recipe past summer. Not having to heat-up the house with the oven was a big bonus.  But now that we are in the cooler weather, this still remains to be our go-to lasagna recipe. It is hassle-free with the no-boil lasagna noodles and cooked to perfection in the Instant Pot. A great make ahead dish that can be warmed up in the Instant Pot or oven.

We start with sautéing onions, garlic, frozen chopped spinach and mushrooms in the Instant Pot. Discard any excess liquids, and reserve the veggies.

Next, mix up the cheese, we loves ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan. We always skip egg but feel-free to add one to the cheeses. A jar of marinara sauce and no-boil lasagna sheets.

A 7″ cake push pan works great for this recipe but feel free to use a pyrex bowl or a spring foam pan.

How to assemble the spinach mushroom lasagna:

1. Start with 3 sheets for the first layer broken into 3-4 pieces. Line up the broken lasagna sheets in the circular pan
2. Spread  half a cup of marinara sauce over the noodles
3. Spread half of the sautéed veggies
4. Spread half of the cheese mix

Repeat the above steps one more time and you are ready for the final top layer! Spread the remaining 3 lasagna sheets, tomato sauce and the reserved mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Thats all! Cover the pan with an aluminum foil so the water from the Instant Pot does not get in the lasagna pan. Place the pan on the trivet.

Add one cup of water to the Instant Pot insert. Place the trivet carefully in the Instant Pot. Set the Instant Pot to manual/pressure cook (hi) for 20 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally and you are ready to enjoy the lasagna!

Note: You can also broil the pasta for the crispy top, but we have not once had patience to do this step!
