  • 10 lasagna noodles – cooked until al dente
  • 1 cup 250 g ricotta cheese – smooth and creamy
  • 1 cup 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese – for meltiness
  • ½ cup 50 g grated Parmesan cheese – adds sharp flavor
  • ½ cup 50 g grated Romano or Asiago cheese – for depth
  • 2 large eggs – divided for filling and coating
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning – for classic flavor

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley – chopped for garnish

Method
 

  1. Boil lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente, then drain and rinse with cool water for easy handling
  2. Trim the edges of each noodle to make rolling easier and cleaner
  3. In a bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano or Asiago, one egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth
  4. Lay noodles flat and spread an even layer of the cheese mixture over each one
  5. Roll each noodle tightly into a compact rectangle or log shape
  6. Place the rolled noodles on a lined tray and freeze for about 1 hour to firm them up
  7. In one bowl, beat the remaining egg; in another, combine breadcrumbs with olive oil and Parmesan
  8. Dip each frozen roll into the egg, then coat evenly with breadcrumbs
  9. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C)
  10. Lightly spray the basket and place rolls in a single layer without overcrowding
  11. Spray tops lightly with oil for extra crispiness
  12. Air fry for 8 minutes, flip, then cook another 6–8 minutes until golden and crispy
  13. Serve hot with marinara sauce and optional Alfredo drizzle
