INSTANT POT LASAGNA SOUP

Steps:

• Turn Instant Pot to SAUTE function. When the display reads "Hot," add the meat and red pepper flakes. Cook until you can't see any pink in the meat, stirring occasionally.
• Add the onion, Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes, until the onion starts to turn translucent, stirring occasionally.
• Add the garlic and mushrooms, and cook for 1 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Next add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, carrots, broth and pasta and mix well.
• Put the lid on the Instant Pot, lock into place, and turn the knob to SEALING.
• Turn off/Cancel the SAUTE function.
• Press the MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK button and then set for 6 minutes.
• When the cook time ends, do a quick release of the pressure. Make sure no sauce comes out with the steam, then turn the steam release knob fully.
• When the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid. Stir the soup and separate any noodles that stuck together (sometimes I get a few). Then add the mozzarella cheeses. Stir well and let it melt. Then add the spinach and cottage cheese and stir again.
• Serve in bowls with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
