Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 6
Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Set your Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode and heat the olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and ground beef, stirring frequently until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and tomato sauce. Stir in the dried basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
4. Break the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pot, stirring to ensure they are submerged in the liquid.
5. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ on high for 5 minutes. Once the cooking cycle is complete, perform a quick release.
6. Open the lid carefully and give the soup a good stir. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the noodles to soften further if needed.
7. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a tablespoon of ricotta cheese, a sprinkle of mozzarella, and a generous dusting of Parmesan cheese.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!

Helpful Tips

• If you prefer a thinner soup, add an extra cup of beef broth.
• For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with your favorite vegetables or plant-based meat alternatives.
• You can prepare this soup in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove before serving.
• Substitute ricotta cheese with cottage cheese for a lighter option.

Pairings

To complete your meal, pair this soup with a fresh loaf of garlic bread and a crisp Caesar salad. A glass of sparkling water or a light red wine can complement the rich flavors beautifully.
