2. Add the pasta sauce and water to the beef and onions. Stir and remove from heat into a large bowl.
3. In another bowl, mix the ricotta, eggs, parmesan, garlic, seasoning, and some more salt and pepper as desired.
4. Fill the bottom of the cooled pressure cooker with 1/4 inch of water. Layer with a fifth of the beef and sauce into the bottom then top with noodles. Cover the noodles with a third of the cheese. Cover the cheese with another layer of sauce, then noodles. Repeat until all layers have been used. The final layer should be noodles topped with sauce.
