Notes

I used a homemade tomato and olive pasta sauce that was cooked in my Instant Pot. I mixed this with a basic cheese sauce.

You can add any cooked vegetables or protein of your choice to the pasta sauce. I added some cooked mixed vegetables.

Ensure your casserole is oven safe before using in your air fryer.

Cooking times will vary based upon your air fryer model and size of your casserole dish.
