Lasagne is a classic Italian meal, perfect for all of the family. It’s known for its delicious layers, with thick bechamel sauce, delicious bolognese and lashings of cheese. However, making it can be time-consuming, especially when cooked in the oven.
Luckily, Aldi has shared a super easy homemade recipe which cooks in an air fryer. It serves six people, can be prepared in 20 minutes and cooked in under 40. Ingredients: One medium onion, diced 500g lean steak minced beef 125g mushrooms, diced Two garlic cloves, crushed Half a teaspoon of dried chilli flakes 500g Cucina tomato sauce 50g butter 50g plain flour 550ml milk Eight dried lasagne sheets 180g grated mozzarella Fresh basil Method: Begin by making the bolognese by heating some oil in a pan, adding the minced beef and cooking until browned.
Add the onions, garlic and mushrooms, cooking for five minutes, adding the tomato sauce along with 100ml of water. Mix until fully combined and then season with the chilli, salt, pepper and leave to simmer for five to 10 minutes while you make the white sauce. Preheat the air fryer to 180C and then grease or line the air fryer basket.
In a saucepan, melt the butter and then add the flour, mixing until it’s a smooth paste. Gradually add the milk, whisking until it’s thick, seasoning with salt and pepper. Begin layering the lasagne in the air fryer basket with a third of the bolognese and top with the lasagne sheet.
Follow with a layer of white sauce and some mozzarella, repeating.
