Ingredients:
1 block of feta cheese (about 200g)
2 cups cherry tomatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for some heat)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
250g pasta of your choice (e.g., penne or fusilli)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prep Ingredients:
Place the block of feta in the center of the air fryer basket. Surround it with cherry tomatoes. Drizzle olive oil over the feta and tomatoes.
3. Season:
Sprinkle minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper over the feta and tomatoes.
4. Air Fry:
Air fry the feta and tomatoes at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until the tomatoes burst, and the feta becomes soft and slightly golden.
5. Cook Pasta:
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
6. Mash and Mix:
Carefully mash the roasted feta and tomatoes together with a fork until well combined. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a bit of the reserved pasta water to achieve a creamier consistency.
7. Combine with Pasta:
Toss the cooked and drained pasta in the air-fried feta and tomato mixture until well coated.
8. Serve:
Serve the baked feta pasta immediately, garnished with additional fresh basil or parsley if desired.
Note: Feel free to customize the recipe by adding ingredients like olives, spinach, or fresh herbs according to your preferences.
