ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese lowers fat content while maintaining creaminess.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat, while provolone is usually cheaper.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free, while Pecorino is often more affordable.

Measure 2 cups of meat sauce and set aside.

Gather spices: garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, basil, and grated cheese, one teaspoon each.

Add 1 egg to the spices and mix well.

Soak lasagna noodles in hot water for about 10 minutes to soften them.

Prepare a 7-inch springform pan by spraying it with oil and wrapping it in foil to prevent leaks.

After soaking, layer some meat sauce at the bottom of the springform pan.

Add a layer of noodles on top of the sauce.

Continue layering with more sauce, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella cheese, repeating until all ingredients are used.

Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside.

Place the springform pan with lasagna on the trivet in the Instant Pot.

Set the Instant Pot to manual for 24 minutes and ensure the toggle is set to sealing.

After cooking, let it naturally release for 12 minutes before opening the pot.
