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 in this order until it’s all used up.

Place in the air fryer for 30 to 40 minutes or until the lasagne sheets are fully cooked and serve topped with fresh basil.
