Thanks! I added a little more water to the it and it made all the difference.

It doesn’t need to be, but you absolutely can cook it first if you prefer!

You put the ingredients in the springform pan first, not the pot. The recipe isn’t flawed, you just need to read it thoroughly. 😊

The 9×12 was almost too small for me!

When I make this right in the pot, I add the water to the bottom–that seems to help. It could be that there is a large amount of solid food at the bottom of the pot and the sensor isn’t recognizing the pressure. Maybe try and layer differently–meat on the bottom with water, then pasta, sauce and cheese?

Step 3: Place a trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot insert and pour 1 cup of water in the bottom.
Step 4: Place the lasagna on top of the trivet and close and lock the lid. Turn your pressure valve to sealing. Select Pressure Cook (high) and set the cook time for 20 minutes.

I’m confused about where the recipe is flawed.

Spinach is great because it doesn’t release too much liquid when cooking. If you don’t care for it, I’d dice it small before adding! My teenage boys eat it all the time without complaining about the spinach when I chop it :)
