Craving lasagna but short on time or cooking for one? The Wiltshire Rose Gold Mini Springform Pan comes to the rescue! This clever pan allows you to create individual lasagna rounds in your air fryer. Imagine perfectly portioned lasagna cooked to crispy perfection – a fun and satisfying weeknight meal.

Individual Air Fryer Lasagna Rounds

Makes/Serves:4 | Prep 30 mins/ Cook 20 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 500g Pork & Beef Mince
  • 1 x 375g packets Fresh Lasagna Sheets
  • 600g Rich Italian Pasta sauce
  • 3/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 80g Mozzarella, grated
  • Handful fresh basil leaves, torn (plus extra to serve)

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large frypan then sauté the mince, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned. Add the pasta sauce, basil and salt and pepper to taste, and bring to a simmer. Simmer gently for a few minutes until the sauce has sweetened a little then set aside.
  2. Using a 10cm round cookie cutter, cut the fresh lasagna sheets into as many rounds as possible.
  3. To layer the lasagna, line the base of 4 Wiltshire Rose Gold SpringForm Mini Pans with baking paper. Add a spoonful of the meat sauce to the base of each and top with a pasta round. Top that with another spoonful of sauce and a sprinkling of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and then continue layering until you have reached the top of the pan. Top the final pasta layer with sauce and mozzarella cheese.
  4. Cover each lasagna with a piece of baking paper and cover with aluminium foil. Place 4 mini pans in the air fryer and cook for 16 mins at 180°C , then remove the baking paper and alfoil and cook for a further 4-5 minutes until the tops are golden.
  5. The pan will be hot so take care while releasing the spring form and plating the individual lasagna rounds. Serve hot with a sprinkling of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and fresh basil leaves.

Let’s take a look at how you can use it to create a delicious and unique dessert: Air Fryer Baklava Custard Crinkle Cake (Souffra).

Air Fryer Baklava Custard Crinkle Cake (Souffra)

Makes/Serves: 4 | Prep 22 mins/Cook 17 mins

Ingredients

  • 8 sheets Fillo pastry
  • 150g unsalted butter, melted
  • 150ml thickened cream
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 2 tbsp honey, warmed (plus extra to serve)
  • 1/3 cup ground almonds
  • 1/3 cup ground walnuts
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Icing sugar, to serve

Method

  1. Bring your Fillo pastry to room temperature prior to making this recipe and brush a Wiltshire Mini Pizza Pan with melted butter. In a small bowl combine the almonds, walnuts and cinnamon and set aside.
  2. Unroll your Fillo pastry and lay a dry clean tea towel over the pastry to keep it from drying out. Brush one sheet of pastry with butter and fold it in half lengthways then place it in your mini pizza, repeat with another sheet, ensuring you cover the base and sides of the pan.
  3. Fold over, overlap and set aside.
  4. Brush another sheet of pastry with butter and fold it in half lengthways. Spread a tablespoon of the nut mixture along one edge and fold over a couple of times to enclose and then using your fingers, fold the rest of the pastry up into a concertina design. Coil the pastry into a loose spiral and place it in the centre of the pastry lined tin.
  5. Repeat with remaining pastry rolling it around the centre spiral as you go, until the pan is full. Ensure the spiral is loose to allow room for the custard filling.
  6. In a bowl whisk together the cream, sugar and honey until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla bean paste and whisk well. Slowly pour the custard over the pastry ensuring it gets into all the pockets. Sprinkle any remaining nut mixture over the top of the custard.
  7. Cover with alfoil and cook in an air fryer at 180°C for 14 mins then remove the alfoil and cook for a further 3-4 minutes until the pastry is golden. Remove from air fryer, drizzle with a little extra honey, dust with icing sugar and serve warm.
