The taste was good.....the outside edges and bottom got well done..(tasted burnt)....put in for 4 hours....The reason I will not make again is because....if cooks in less than 2 hours....I can just make in oven. I tried this recipe so that I could make ahead and would be ready for dinner time. It did not save me anytime. The taste is great, but I would not cook as long.

Had this for dinner tonight, it was very good, but here are the adjustments I made: instead of the progresso recipe starters, I used one jar of spaghetti sauce and I can diced tomatoes and added a little extra garlic and oregano. I added a can of mushrooms and 1/2 cup water, and used cottage cheese instead of ricotta and used 3 noodles in each layer instead of 5. I put it together the night before and cooked it for 4 hours on low. The noodles were a little over done, next time I will try it for 3 hours. All in all I was very happy with this.

You do NOT cook the noodles. The liquid gets absorbed while during the cooking time and they are tender. Lasagna in the pressure cooker comes out really good and is supper easy. Less time is needed I believe it was approx 2-3 on high, 4 on low.

I agree w/smudge71. I've made this many times and it really takes less than 2 hrs on Low. Watch carefully the first time!

I substituted lean hamburger meat, a jar of spaghetti sauce and some Italian spices in this recipe and it was super good and so easy to make.....I like not having to cook the noodles!!! It was a hit for supper and warmed up the next day..........it took less time to cook so watch it begore it gets dry.............this is a keeper

Hi Beverly! The list of ingredients shows UNCOOKED noodles. Also, in the cooking directions is says to break the noodles apart. That'd have to mean they were uncooked.

No, you don't cook the noodles beforehand.
