Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for creaminess)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for topping

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to the Sauté function. Add olive oil and ground beef (or sausage). Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine everything well.
  4. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the liquid. Do not stir them in completely; try to keep them mostly submerged.
  5. Secure the lid and set the vent to Sealing. Cook on Manual/Pressure Cook (High) for 5 minutes.
  6. When the cooking time is complete, perform a Quick Release of the pressure.
  7. Stir the soup gently. If using, stir in the heavy cream until combined.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, substitute the lasagna noodles with zucchini noodles added during the last 5 minutes of the manual cooking time, or skip the pasta entirely.
  • If you prefer a richer meat flavor, use Italian sausage instead of ground beef.
  • You can add a splash of red wine during the sauté step for deeper flavor before adding the broth.
