Homemade Lasagna Sheets
Homemade lasagna noodles are easier to make than you think and you don't even need a pasta machine. And forget about blanching the sheets before baking — no precooking is required!
Make-Ahead Manicotti
I have used this basic principle for make-ahead manicotti and adapted it to make stuffed shells and lasagna. If I'm making lasagna, I buy a second, smaller jar of spaghetti sauce because I always feel like I need a bit more. Merry manicotti!
Salami, Ham, and Pepperoni Sandwiches in the Air Fryer
This three-meat sandwich is crispy on the outside, tender and cheesy on the inside, with salami being the star of the show. Your air fryer crisps up the meat and toasts the bread at the same time and in only 5 minutes. Feel free to sub mozzarella cheese for the provolone.
