Deep-Fried Lasagna Bars

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Pasta Flyer is Introducing a Unique Handheld Lasagna Dish

— September 4, 2017 — Lifestyle
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.
Trend Themes
1. Handheld Comfort Foods - Embrace the trend of reinventing comfort foods into handheld snacks for convenient on-the-go consumption.
2. Deep-fried Innovations - Explore the disruptive innovation opportunity of deep-frying traditionally non-portable dishes to create solid, manageable shapes for handheld eating.
3. Creative Single-serve Concepts - Tap into the trend of developing unique single-serve dishes that offer a new and novel dining experience.
Industry Implications
1. Fast Food Industry - The fast food industry can capitalize on the trend of handheld comfort foods by introducing innovative new menu items.
2. Frozen Food Industry - The frozen food industry can explore the disruptive innovation opportunities of creating deep-fried, handheld versions of their popular comfort food products.
3. Food Trucks and Food Delivery Services - Food trucks and food delivery services can take advantage of the creative single-serve concepts trend by offering unique and convenient handheld dishes to their customers.
