Sloppy Lasagna
- Basic Meat Ragu prepared and hot in the cooker
- 1 teaspoon salt
- One 8- or 9-ounce package wavy lasagna strips (not precooked), broken into 2-inch pieces
- Water, as needed
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, diced
- Add the salt and lasagna strips to the cooker, mixing them into the hot sauce.
- Pour in just enough water to cover the pasta (if using an electric cooker, add an extra 1/2 cup water).
- Smooth down the top pieces of pasta so they are submerged as you do this.
- Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker.
- Cook at low pressure (see Notes) for 4 minutes/all cooker types or for half the cooking time indicated on the pasta package.
- When the time is up, open the pressure cooker with the Normal Release method (see Notes).
- Sprinkle the mozzarella over the lasagna; stir, and let stand, uncovered, for 2 minutes before serving.
- Pressure Cook Pasta to al Dente
- To achieve al dente results for pressure cooked pasta, it is important to cook at low pressure and use only half the recommended cooking time for each shape.
- For example, if the pasta package says the shape needs 9 to 10 minutes of conventional boiling, it should be pressure cooked for 5 minutes at low pressure; 12 to 13 minutes would be 6 minutes at low pressure, and so on.
- The cooking time is the same for all types of pressure cookers.
