Baking spaghetti casserole in an air fryer is a great way to enjoy a quick and easy dinner without heating up your whole kitchen. It's my favorite way to make a quick vegan spaghetti pie for 2 people without heating up my large oven.
Here's how to do it:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F.
- Cook spaghetti noodles in boiling water until al dente (about 8-10 minutes), then drain.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together cooked spaghetti, a jar of my spaghetti sauce found on the recipe card (or use a store bought spaghetti sauce), and any additional ingredients you like such as veggies, vegan meat substitutes, or spices.
- Transfer the spaghetti mixture to an oven-safe casserole dish that will fit inside the air fryer basket.
- Cook in the air fryer for about 10-12 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once the spaghetti casserole is done cooking, carefully remove the casserole dish from the air fryer using oven mitts or tongs.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil and a pinch of black pepper and serve with a simple side salad.
