AIR-FRYER LASAGNE 😍

If you fancy a quick and hassle-free lasagne, this air-fryer version is your answer. The key to success? Fresh pasta sheets! They cook much faster than dried pasta, meaning your delicious lasagne is ready in under 25 minutes, with only two pots to wash. Perfect for busy days or when you’re craving comfort food in a hurry.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

750g pork and beef mince
Fresh lasagne sheets (enough to layer 4 or more times)
Bechamel sauce (about 4 serving spoons)
Mozzarella cheese (a handful)
2 tsp basil
2 tsp oregano
Instructions:

Make the Bolognese: In a large saucepan, cook your 750g of pork and beef mince until browned and cooked through. Add your favorite bolognese seasonings or sauce mix. Stir well and let it simmer for a few minutes.

Prepare the Layers: Take your air fryer basket and remove the grill. Add two serving spoons of the bolognese mix into the bottom of the basket.

Add Fresh Lasagne Sheets: Layer fresh lasagne sheets on top of the bolognese mix, covering it completely.

Add Bechamel: Spoon one serving of bechamel sauce over the lasagne sheets.

Repeat the Layers: Repeat the process—add more bolognese mix, lasagne sheets, and bechamel sauce. Layer up to four times (or more, depending on your preference).

Top Layer: For the final layer, cover with lasagne sheets, a generous layer of bechamel, and a good handful of mozzarella cheese.

Season: Sprinkle 2 tsp each of basil and oregano over the top for added flavor.

Cook: Place the air fryer basket at 150°C and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.

Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove from the air fryer. Serve with a fresh salad and garlic bread for the ultimate meal. Bellissimo! 🍝

Enjoy your easy, air-fried lasagne! 😋
