Lasagna Ingredients

  • 9 pieces lasagna noodles
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic until soft, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for a few minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with half of the Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Assembly and Cooking

  • Assemble the lasagna in an air fryer-safe pan. Start with a layer of meat sauce, followed by a layer of noodles, then the ricotta mixture, and a layer of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook for about 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Carefully remove the lasagna and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

To enhance flavor, use good quality marinara and adjust cooking temperature for a crispy top. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.
