20 Minute Lasagana made in my pressure cooker!
Here's the scoop. Back in April, while on vacation ... watching infomercials. I came across the Power Cooker XL. I was impressed on how fast it cooked food, even frozen and I was hooked. Anything to make my life so much easier in the kitchen. Shipping took forever, it was so popular they were on back order for 2 months. I kept getting these messages ... "do you really want it" send back this reply. YES YES I really want this thing. So finally, I recd it in June/July and this week (August) I decided to use it. Lasagna has been something that I've always struggled with. It either came out to dry, not enough flavor and I always had left overs that lasted forever and I eventually had to throw it out because no one wanted anymore. So when I opened the recipe book and saw Lasagna, I decided to take one more crack at it. The result was AMAZING!!! We were all shocked at how delicious it was, flavored all throughout like I had cooked it for hours and it only took 20 minutes. As I was preparing all the ingredients, I kept saying .. I hope this tastes good. I just couldn't imagine Lasagna cooked for 20 minutes or even in a pressure cooker!
So here is the amazing 20 minute lasagna recipe, that my family has given 4 stars!!

Ingredients:
- 10 Meatballs, cooked and crushed (I used Armour Italian Style Meatballs, entire bag/16oz)

Instructions:
- Mix the ricotta cheese in a bowl with 1 cup shredded mozzarella, parsley, salt, pepper, grated parmigiano and eggs. Set aside. (I used powder Parmesan cheese and added garlic).
- Place the inner pot into the Power Cooker. Pour 1 cup tomato sauce with 1/2 cup of water.
- Place lasgna shells on top of tomato sauce. (I had to break them in thirds and qtrs to get them to fit)
- Place half the crushed meatballs on top of the shells. Pour 1/2 cup of sauce. Place another layer of shells and then spoon in half of the ricotta cheese mixture.
- Place another layer of the lasagna shells down and pour the remaining meatballs. Pour 1 cup of sauce on top of the meatballs, then add the remaining ricotta cheese mixture.
- Place the final layer of shells and pour 1 cup of sauce on top. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella on top. (I added powedered Parmesan cheese and italian seasonings on top too!)

- Press the COOK button and then press the COOK TIME button until you reach 20 minutes.
- Once the timer reaches 0, the cooker will automatically switch to KEEP WARM. Switch the pressure release valve to open. When the steam is compleltey released, remove the lid.
