Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients listed in the "Cheese Layer" section. Stir to combine and set aside.

Step 2

Press the Sauté button on the Instant Pot, once it reads hot, add olive oil to the inner pot.

Step 3

Add meat, and cook unmoved for 1-2 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, break the beef and cook until no longer pink.

Step 4

Add diced onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Saute stirring occasionally for 1-2 minutes, until the onion is soft.

Step 5

Scoop mixture from the Instant Pot and add it to a bowl.

Step 6

Add 1 1/2 cup of water to the pot and deglaze it. Turn off the pressure cooker.

Step 7

In a 7x 3 springform pan or push pan, start layering the ingredients in the following order.

Step 8

First layer: break about 3-4 no-boil noodles and arrange them to cover the bottom of the pan.

Step 9

Second layer: Spread about 3/4 - 1 cup of the pasta sauce over the noodles, smooth the sauce using the back of a spoon, and make sure the noodles are well covered.

Step 10

Third layer: Spread 1/2 of the meat mixture evenly on top of the sauce layer. Press slightly.

Step 11

Fourth layer: Spread 1/2 of the cheese mixture evenly on top of the meat layer. Press slightly.

Step 12

Repeat 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th layer. Press slightly.

Step 13

Add a final layer of no-boil lasagna noodles. Press slightly. Cover with sauce and sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 14

Spray a sheet of foil with nonstick spray and cover the pan, the foil should not touch the cheese, aim for it to be 1 inch from the top lasagna layer.

Step 15

Assuming that you have not discarded the 1 1/2 cup of water from the Instant Pot, if you did, then add 1 1/2 cup of water to the pot.

Step 16

Place the covered lasagna pan on a trivet with handles and add it to the inner pot.

Step 17

Close and lock the lid. Point the steam knob to the Sealing position.

Step 18

Press the Pressure Cook or Manual button and input 22 minutes.

Step 19

When the cooking cycle has ended, follow with a 15 minutes Natural Release. Then, turn the knob to the Venting position to release any remaining steam.

Step 20

Open the pressure cooker and transfer the lasagna pan to a cooling rack.

Step 21

Turn on the oven broiler to 450 degrees F and place an oven rack in the middle of the oven.

Step 22

Remove the foil cover, sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and carefully, wearing oven mittens, transfer the lasagna pan to the oven.

Step 23

Broil for just a few minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Watch it closely to not burn it!

Step 24

Remove the lasagna from the oven, and let it rest on a cooling rack for about 10-15 minutes. This will help maintain its shape when you try to remove it from the pan.

Step 25

Release the lasagna from the springform pan and slide it onto a plate.

Step 26

To release the lasagna from a push pan, wearing oven mittens, lift the pan and place it on a large aluminum or stainless steel can (anything canned!) while still holding the pan. Carefully and slowly press down by the sides of the pan. The bottom of the push pan with the lasagna will remain on top of the can, quickly slide another plate under the lasagna.

Step 27

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Slice and serve.
