Deep-Fried Lasagna Bars

Pasta Flyer is Introducing a Unique Handheld Lasagna Dish

Consumers have been enjoying handheld lasagna snacks for years in the form of single-serve cups made with wonton wrappers, but Pasta Flyer is introducing yet another innovative take on this idea.

Pasta Flyer reinvented its signature Del Posto 100-layer lasagna with an all-new creation called the 'Lasagna Bar,' which is meant to be eaten with one's hands rather than a knife and fork. Although one might have concerns about the noodles going limp after cooking and the handheld creation being a challenge to eat, the dish is deep-fried to give it a solid, manageable shape.

As an alternative to sitting down to experience a full meal, many consumers are looking to see their favorite comfort foods reinvented as grab-and-go eats that can be neatly consumed using one's hands.
