Steps
How to prepare the Carasau Lasagna with Meat Sauce in Air Fryer
Prepare the bechamel by melting the butter in a small pot. Remove from the heat and add the flour, then mix well with the whisk. Put back on the heat and cook for a minute
Add the milk gradually until the bechamel thickens. Adjust the salt and add a pinch of pepper and nutmeg.
Chop the celery and carrot into small pieces and mince the onion. Put them in a pan with a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and let them soften
Once the vegetables are softened, add the ground meat and let it brown for a few minutes
Deglaze over high heat with the wine and let it evaporate
Pour in the tomato passata (I used datterino, but you can use any other type of passata) and add salt, cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for about 50 minutes
Assemble the lasagna in a baking pan or dish: start by covering the base of the pan with the bechamel
Form the layers by laying down the carasau sheets
Add the meat sauce and the bechamel
Sprinkle all the layers with plenty of grated Parmesan
Finish the last layer with bechamel, meat sauce, and Parmesan
Place the pan in the air fryer on the grill or shelf if you have an oven-type air fryer and cook at 340°F for 13 minutes
If necessary, increase the temperature in the last few minutes for extra crispiness
