Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 (4 ounce) mild Italian sausage link, casing removed
1 pound ground sirloin
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 (32 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth
24 ounces marinara sauce
8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add sausage and ground beef to the pot and until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain and discard grease and set meat aside. Add olive oil and swirl to insure the bottom of the pot is evenly coated. Add onions and cook until just soft, but not brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until just fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in chicken broth and deglaze the pot, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom. Pour in marinara sauce. Add meat mixture and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Add lasagna noodles, making sure that they are completely submerged in sauce. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Taste and adjust salt, if necessary. Ladle into bowls and top each with 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese.

Categories Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

1 lb Italian Sausage
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 onion, chopped
2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon basil, dried
1 teaspoon oregano, dried
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
5 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
4 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 cup of carrots, chopped up
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes with juice
1 (14oz) can tomato sauce
4-5 cups chicken broth (adjust for desired thickness)
9 lasagna noodles, broke in small pieces, about 1.5 inches long (you can use any type of noodle)
1 cup Mozzarella cheese
1 cup cottage cheese (or ricotta)
Fresh spinach
Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Turn Instant Pot to SAUTE function. When the display reads "Hot," add the meat and red pepper flakes. Cook until you can't see any pink in the meat, stirring occasionally.
Add the onion, Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes, until the onion starts to turn translucent, stirring occasionally.
Add the garlic and mushrooms, and cook for 1 minutes, stirring frequently.
Next add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, carrots, broth and pasta and mix well.
Put the lid on the Instant Pot, lock into place, and turn the knob to SEALING.
Turn off/Cancel the SAUTE function.
Press the MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK button and then set for 6 minutes.
When the cook time ends, do a quick release of the pressure. Make sure no sauce comes out with the steam, then turn the steam release knob fully.
When the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid. Stir the soup and separate any noodles that stuck together (sometimes I get a few). Then add the mozzarella cheeses. Stir well and let it melt. Then add the spinach and cottage cheese and stir again.
Serve in bowls with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.

Tips:

When using uncooked lasagna noodles, break them into smaller pieces before adding them to the soup. This will help them cook evenly.
If you don't have ricotta cheese, you can substitute cottage cheese or cream cheese.
To make the soup thicker, add an extra 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese or 1/4 cup of cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup of water.
For a heartier soup, add 1 pound of ground beef or Italian sausage, browned and drained, before adding the vegetables.
Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or garlic bread for dipping.
