- Cook Lasagna Noodles:
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare Filling:
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef or Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until the onions are softened. Drain any excess fat.
- Add Marinara Sauce:
- Stir in marinara sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Prepare Ricotta Mixture:
- In a bowl, mix together ricotta cheese and beaten egg until well combined.
- Assemble Lasagna in the Air Fryer:
- In the air fryer basket, layer the lasagna as follows: a thin layer of meat sauce, a layer of lasagna noodles, a layer of ricotta mixture, and a layer of shredded mozzarella. Repeat until you’ve used all the ingredients, finishing with a layer of mozzarella on top.
- Air Fry:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled lasagna in the air fryer basket.
- Cook in Batches:
- Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
