- Put the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure it is sealed. Manually set the Instant Pot to 1 minute (it will take several minutes to come to pressure)

- Turn off the Instant Pot and top the soup with thinly sliced fresh mozzarella
- Serve the soup in bowls with crusty bread and fresh grated parmesan
Lazy Lasagna Stove Top Directions
- Follow all of the steps above, except boil the soup together with the noodles for 14 minutes, or until pasta reaches al dente
Notes
*If leftovers are refrigerated, the pasta will absorb much of the remaining liquid. Heat in the microwave and add a little water if desired
