It delivers all the cozy, cheesy goodness of traditional lasagna, without all the work or the heaviness of pasta (hint: this recipe uses cabbage).

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup mushrooms minced
  • 1 (14-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 8 cups napa cabbage cut into 2-inch square
  • ½ cup yellow onion
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheese pick your favorite variety
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • fresh basil for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Cook the ground beef on saute mode, and add Italian seasoning.
  • When the beef is mostly cooked, move it to one side of the Instant Pot pan and add the onions and mushrooms. Cook them in fat from the beef.
  • Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add the stewed tomatoes, then add the cabbage.
  • Close the sealing valve and cook on soup mode for 3 minutes. It will take 15 minutes total, because time is needed to build up the pressure. Manually release the steam.
  • Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese and 1 cup of cottage cheese.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve warm, garnished with optional fresh basil.

Notes

  • Use a mix of mushrooms to give the dish more complexity and a deeper umami flavor.
  • Swap some ground beef for Italian sausage or mix in spinach for extra flavor and veggies without changing the texture.
Serve: Enjoy it with salad greens, garlic bread, and red wine or sparkling water with lemon.
Store: Cool completely, then transfer to the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before warming on the stove or in the Instant Pot on saute mode.
