Add in marinara sauce and stir until fully mixed. Then, pour the mixture into a separate bowl and clean out the inside of your Instant Pot.
2
Melt butter in a pan. Sprinkle in flour. Cook until the mixture just begins to brown, then pour in milk while whisking. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens. Finish it with salt.

Line your springform pan or round baking dish with parchment paper. Add an even layer of meat sauce.

Add a layer of oven-ready lasagna noodles. Then top with more meat sauce over the noodles.

Spread ⅓ of your bechamel sauce over the meat sauce.

Top with a handful of mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of Parmesan.

Repeat the layers by starting again with the meat sauce. Layer in this order: meat, bechamel, shredded cheese, lasagna noodles.

On the final layer, top with noodles, then your remaining bechamel sauce and shredded cheese.

Cover lasagna tightly in foil. Create a sling by folding a long sheet of foil into a rectangular strip. Use this strip as a "handle".

Add water to your Instant Pot. Place the trivet in the pot, then add the covered lasagna with the sling underneath.
