FAQs About Air Fryer Lasagna Cups
Can I use any type of pasta noodles?
Yes, you can use any type of pasta noodles for this recipe. However, I recommend using a thicker pasta noodle, such as lasagna noodles or penne noodles. This will help to prevent the cups from becoming soggy.
Can I use store-bought lasagna sauce?
