Air Fryer Lasagna Fritta Olive Garden CopycatRecipe
The Air Fryer Lasagna Fritta Olive Garden copycat recipe is easy. If you can make regular lasagna...then you can make the air fryer Lasagna Fritta also sometimes known as air fryer lasagna rolls.
Ingredients
- 9 Lasagna Noodles 1 extra in case one rips
- 1 Container of Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
- 1 Package of Shredded Whole Milk Mozzarella Cheese
- 4 Eggs
- 4 tsp. of Italian seasoning plus some for garnish
- 2 cups Italian Style Bread Crumbs
- 1 package Parmesan Romano Shredded Cheese
- Jar of Spaghetti sauce with meat or you can make your own
- Jar of Alfredo sauce or make your own
- 4 tsp. Butter
Instructions
- Start by boiling your lasagna noodles al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- While the noodles are cooking, place your bread crumbs in a microwave-safe bowl with the butter, half the package of Parmesan Romano Shredded Cheese, 2 tsp. of Italian seasoning, and microwave until the butter is melted.
- Mix well and set aside.
- In another bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, 2 eggs, the package of Shredded Whole Milk Mozzarella Cheese, and 2 tsp. of Italian seasoning.
- Next, cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lay your noodles in a few rows.
- Spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese mixture along the lasagna noodle keeping it away from the edges.
- Roll up the noodle gently and stop 2 inches before the end.
- Bring up the end and tuck it under the rolled-up noodle to seal it in.
- Continue until all eight noodles are done. Space them evenly apart on the cookie sheet and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, create your dredging station. Scramble your eggs in a bowl and place your microwaved bread crumbs next to it.
- Dredge in eggs, flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs.
- Place a parchment round in the bottom of the Air Fryer and place your Lasagna Fritta rollups in the basket.
- Leave room in between so the air can get all the sides. I can fit comfortably in my NInja Foodi but if your air fryer is bigger, then place 3 or 4 by all means. You can also mist them with an oil spritzer to help brown them more. Air fry for 20 minutes at 400 degrees F. Flip and air fry for about another 20 minutes.
- Top with alfredo sauce, parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
- Pan Fried Lasagna Fritta
- Bread the air fryer lasagna rolls as you do for the Air Fryer. You do not, however, need to brown your bread crumbs in the microwave.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in your pan. Carefully place your lasagna fritta rolls in the hot oil.
- Fry for about 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Flip and fry for about another 4 minutes or until browned.
- Place in your air fryer basket at 350 degrees and air fry for about 15 minutes on each side.
- Place on a bed of spaghetti sauce. Top with Alfredo sauce, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Enjoy!
Notes
Is Air Fryer Lasagna Fritta Fried
I chose to make these in the air fryer mainly because my Ninja Foodi is my go-to kitchen appliance. You can, however, pan fry them too if you prefer.Does Lasagna Fritta in Olive Garden Have Meat
The short answer is yes. While there is no meat inside the Olive Garden lasagna fritta, it does have meat sauce in addition to the alfredo sauce on the top.Nutrition
