I'm not sure I would consider this "lasagna" versus "pasta in spaghetti sauce with ricotta cheese". I think the ricotta cheese was supposed to represent the lasagna part while the rotini (or any other non-lasagna) noodles gave the nod to "lazy" since you don't have to worry about layering lasagna noodles with ricotta cheese and sauce.
I made some modifications since I used the whole bag of rotini noodles (I have a thing about not having leftover dry pasta hanging out in my pantry) rather than the 8 ounces the original recipe called for. I compensated by increasing the amount of liquid in the recipe.
For the most part it worked. The sauce was creamy and cheesy and this was a quick, easy meal trademarked by Instant Pot usage.
1 pound ground turkey
16 ounces pasta (I used rotini)
24-ounce jar spaghetti sauce
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Saute ground turkey in Instant Pot on Saute mode, until brown and cooked through. Drain excess grease.
- Add noodles on top of ground turkey. Cover with spaghetti sauce and chicken broth, submerging noodles completely. Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning on top.
- Close lid and place vent in sealing position. Manually put on 4 minutes at high pressure.
- When completed, allow 5 minutes of natural pressure release then do a quick release of remaining pressure.
- Remove lid and stir in ricotta cheese until melted and combined. Stir in mozzarella cheese until melted. Serve warm.
