Ingredients

Directions

1. Start by browning the beef in a large pot, or instant pot in a little butter and olive oil. Once meat is cooked through and browned, remove from pan.
2. Next, saute veggies in same pot you just browned the meat. Cook until tender for about 3-5 minutes. Stir in seasonings and toast for a couple of minutes. 
3. Pour in marinara sauce, chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil and taste seasonings. 
4. Add beef back into the pot and break up uncooked lasagna noodles and pour into pot.
5. If using an instant pot, close lid and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. If using a large pot, bring to boil and cover and cook noodles for 10 minutes!
6. Serve in a bowl and top with Parmesan cheese and parsley. If you enjoy ricotta add a dollop for extra creaminess!
