All in One Air Fryer Feta Penne Pasta


Ingredients:

  • 5 oz Penne pasta
  • 4 oz Feta cheese block
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • ½ lb Grape tomatoes
  • 2 tsp Minced garlic (more or less to taste)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the air fryer and start cooking pasta if not already cooked. Reserve about ¼-½ cup of water once the pasta finishes.
  2. Use an air fryer safe dish that will fit in your air fryer basket. (I used a 8.5 inch tin foil cake pan). Any pan should work fine.
  3. Place the oil in the bottom of the dish.
  4. Halve the tomatoes and add them to the dish. Add the garlic and salt. Stir everything together to coat the tomatoes in the oil and garlic.
  5. Move the tomatoes to the side of the dish and place the feta block in the middle of the dish. Move the tomatoes to be in a single layer around the feta block of cheese.
  6. Air fry at 320 °F for 8 minutes, or until the feta is slightly browned and tomatoes are roasted. 
  7. With a spatula, gently press down on the feta cheese and tomatoes to break apart. Air fry for 3 more minutes at 380 °F, or until everything is roasted and melty to your liking.
  8. Stir the cheese and tomatoes together until well combined. Combine with the penne pasta. You may need to transfer to a separate dish. If the cheese and tomato mixture is too thick for your liking, take some of the reserved pasta water and add a little to the bowl until pasta reaches desired consistency.
  9. Serve with fresh basil and enjoy!
