Can I make it without Air Fryer Lid?
For this Instant Pot pasta recipe, we are using Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid.
Just like all the other Instant Pot Air Fryer recipes on Corrie Cooks, you can also use Instant Pot duo crisp, Mealthy Crisplid, or any similar kitchen appliance.
If you have a smoker, you can use this recipe to get smoked lasagna.
If you don't have one, I would recommend you go with one of the other great recipes on the blog for now.
Can I re-heat?
Of course, just like the Instant Pot Shepherd's Pie, this recipe taste even better the next day 🙂
Make in a bulk and freeze some for some other time.
It will keep in the cooler for a couple of days and it makes extraordinary extras to prepare in your lunch the following day.

What if I don't have Ricotta cheese?
You can skip it or make this homemade Instant Pot ricotta.
What can I use other than Mozzarella Cheese?
Well, you can opt for your favorite one.
Otherwise, try using cheddar or parmesan cheese.
What can I add for toppings?
You can add crushed potato chips on the top just to have some toppings.

Do you need to put water in the instant Pot or cover it with foil?
Hard noodles or cooked ones?
You can use the hard uncooked noodles here.
What if you don't have the air fryer lid?
This recipe is meant for the air fryer lid, or you can bake it in the oven at 375 (it will take a bit longer to cook through).
Is it regular noodles or the oven ready ones or does it matter? Thanks!!
Good question! I've use regular noodles here but the oven ready ones should work as well.
Hi, I'm new to this. You just add the dish right into the pot, with no surrounding water? It doesnt hurt the machine or explode the dish? Should you only use a pyrex dish?
So you dont make this in the instapot itself you put in a separate bowl inside the pot rt?
Separate bowl inside the Instant Pot.
