Italian food is my favorite cuisines. It has been for as long as I can remember. I am not a fan of store bought sauce so really my only choice was to go to a local favorite restaurant. The Instant Pot changed all that. I can easily make my own sauce and I can then use that sauce to make other delicious Italian meals. This lasagna is fast, easy and best of all DELICIOUS!

[…] Before I owned an Instant Pot I made sauce exactly one time. It was bland and not at all exciting. So for the next however many years I ate bottled sauce from the supermarket. I don’t really care for bottled sauce though as it’s too salty and just not pleasing to my palate. Once I got the IP I came across some recipes for sauce and tried them but they didn’t quite cut it either. I don’t care for it with red wine as an ingredient and many of them had red wine. The others were bland or too salty so I set about creating my own sauce recipe. I make this recipe once a week or once every other week and use it in all of my other recipes that call for sauce like the Lasagna. […]
