Instant Pot Lazy Mom Lasagna

If you’re a lazy mom (or dad) like me this is a perfect weeknight meal idea! This is such a great way to make “lasagna.” Frozen ravioli is used in the place of noodles and instead of browning ground beef or ground sausage you use smoked sausage. Layer all the ingredients in a deep pot-in-pot dish and pressure cook for 25 minutes. This is a perfect recipe to make in the summer when you don’t want to heat up your house to bake a lasagna! No oven, no stove! You can also make this in the Crockpot instead of the Instant Pot.

This recipe makes 6 hearty servings. The leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 5 days. Or you can freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Try using different types of smoked sausage. Or you can brown ground Italian sausage in the place of smoked sausage. Try your favorite pasta sauce. I used Classico brand. You can also use frozen tortellini in the place of raviolis. I always find the frozen ravioli in the grocery store by the frozen breads.

Pro tip: Use the 3 quart Instant Pot liner* inside your 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot liner for pot-in-pot cooking.
