Ingredients
  

8 lasagna noodles

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs (beaten)

2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs

Olive oil spray

Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Cook the Lasagna Noodles: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean surface to cool.

    Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.

      Assemble the Lasagna Fritta: Take one noodle and spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture on top. Carefully roll the noodle up from one end to the other, securing the filling inside. Repeat with all noodles.

        Breading the Rolls: Set up a breading station: Place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third. Roll each lasagna roll-up in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all rolls.

          Air Fry the Rolls: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the breaded lasagna rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. Lightly spray with olive oil spray. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

            Serve: Remove the lasagna fritta from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
