Ingredients
Scale
Lasagna Roll Ups
- 6 Lasagna noodles (pre-cooked)
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- ½ cup Pasta sauce (tomato sauce)
- 3 Mozzarella cheese sticks, cut in half
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Noodles: Lay the pre-cooked lasagna noodles flat on a clean surface like a countertop or cutting board.
- Layer Ricotta Cheese: Spread a thin and even layer of ricotta cheese over each noodle, covering it entirely for a creamy base.
- Add Pasta Sauce: Spoon and spread the tomato-based pasta sauce over the ricotta layer, adding flavor and moisture.
- Insert Mozzarella: Place half of a mozzarella cheese stick at the center of each noodle to provide that gooey cheese pull.
- Roll and Arrange: Carefully roll each noodle up around the cheese stick to form tight roll-ups, then place them in your prepared air fryer pan or basket with some space between each.
- Air Fry: Cook the roll-ups in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, until the mozzarella is melted and the edges of the noodles start to crisp.
Notes
- Ensure lasagna noodles are fully pre-cooked and cooled before assembling for best texture.
- You can substitute mozzarella sticks with shredded mozzarella if preferred, adjusting quantities accordingly.
- Use your favorite pasta sauce for added personalization—marinara or meat sauce work well.
- Air fryer cooking times may vary, so check for melted cheese and lightly browned edges as an indicator of doneness.
- Serve with a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley for garnish and extra flavor.
