Vegetable lasagna in the Instant Pot or Ninja Foodi

Today I woke up with a craving for lasagna! I didn’t want traditional meat lasagna though. I wanted a vegetable lasagna but not a traditional vegetable lasagna, hahaha. Can you tell I was a bit finicky today? Hey, I can be, after all, I was the one cooking. I did, however, send the hubster out to the store for the ingredients, so I guess you can say it was a joint effort and I ended up making this vegetable lasagna in the Instant Pot

I hopped on Facebook live to demonstrate and you can still find that recording here

We used fresh Italian blend greens and Marzetta roasted red peppers in the jar. I did drain the oil first from the peppers.

I wish I would have had enough greens to double the amount I used, but now I know for next time. Once greens like spinach are sauteed and simmered down they look like barely enough. I spread them thin.

The combination was soooo tasty and simple. It was a nice change from traditional lasagna. Give it a try!

I recommend Barilla no-boil lasagna noodles. Those are great for use in the Instant Pot. You can however use regular lasagna noodles. Don’t fret about having to break them apart. They look like a hot mess in the pan but when all is cooked the lasagna looks beautiful. One of my readers mentioned she soaks her noodles in warm water first and then cuts them neatly. She said she is OCD and likes it better that way. I thought that is a great tip and I’m passing that along, but I am not OCD and have no problem with them looking messy in the pan. We know the end result by now and why waste the time, in my opinion. It’s definitely a personal choice.
