Air Fryer Lasagna Recipe

When it comes to quick and satisfying meals, few dishes can rival the comfort and indulgence of lasagna. Our air fryer lasagna recipe takes this classic Italian favourite and gives it a modern twist, allowing you to prepare it in a fraction of the time while still delivering that rich, hearty flavour.

Ingredients:

• 9 lasagne sheets
• 500g minced beef or a plant-based alternative
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
• 200g ricotta cheese
• 150g mozzarella cheese, grated
• 50g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meat Sauce: Begin by sautéing the chopped onion and minced garlic in a small pan until softened. Add the minced beef and cook until browned. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

2. Construct the Lasagna: In a suitable air fryer-safe dish, layer the ingredients starting with a spoonful of meat sauce, followed by a layer of lasagne sheets, ricotta cheese, and mozzarella. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of meat sauce topped with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

3. Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (356°F). Cover the dish with aluminium foil and air fry for 20 minutes. After this time, remove the foil and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.

4. Serve: Once cooked, allow the lasagna to rest for a few moments before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil and serve with a side salad or garlic bread for the perfect meal.
