Straw and Hay Tagliatelle with Ragù in an Air Fryer

The Straw and Hay Tagliatelle with ragù, cooked in a Air Fryer, are a true triumph of flavors and textures. With their colorful, rough, and porous ribbons, they completely capture the meat ragù, making it a perfect first course for a family dinner or Sunday lunch, combining tradition, taste, and a bit of creativity, like in the case of the Tagliatelle Nests in an Air Fryer, where the pasta cooks directly in the pan with their sauce, and the Carasau Lasagna with Ragù where the typical Sardinian bread replaces the pasta sheets, and finally the Lasagna Bundles, an original idea to bring one of the most representative first courses of our culinary tradition to the table.

What makes this Straw and Hay Tagliatelle with Ragù recipe special is the preparation: it is first cooked in a pot, leaving it slightly al dente, mixed with the sausage and ground beef ragù, and placed in a pan, like lasagna, alternating layers of pasta with a tasty parmesan cream which, with the cooking in Air Fryer, will keep the inside creamy and the surface with a delicious crust.

Let’s see together how to prepare these delicious Straw and Hay Tagliatelle with ragù.

Steps

How to prepare Straw and Hay Tagliatelle with ragù in an Air Fryer

  • Add the tomato purée

  • Let it cook over moderate heat for about 30 minutes. If necessary, adjust the salt

  • Remember to set aside the cooking water for the parmesan cream

  • Cook the pasta in salted boiling water and drain it al dente (a couple of minutes before the cooking time indicated on the package)

  • Add the tagliatelle to the ragù

  • Mix well

  • Take the baking dish and cover the bottom with a layer of parmesan cream and distribute the pasta alternating with the parmesan cream until all the ingredients are used up

  • Cover the last layer with the cream and sprinkle with parmesan
