Can you cook pasta in the air fryer?

While you can’t boil pasta directly in the air fryer, this recipe works by air frying the sauce ingredients — like feta, sundried tomatoes, garlic, and herbs — then stirring in cooked pasta at the end. It’s a quick and flavour-packed way to elevate a pasta dish.

Is this similar to the viral baked feta pasta?

Yes, this is the air fryer version of the popular baked feta pasta, but even faster. Using the air fryer gives you that roasted, caramelised flavour in a fraction of the time.

What kind of pasta works best for this recipe?

Short pasta shapes like fusilli, penne or rigatoni are ideal because they hold the creamy feta and tomato sauce well in all their ridges and curves.

Can I use crumbled feta instead of a block?

Yes, crumbled feta works fine too. Just make sure to add a little olive oil to help it melt into a creamy texture in the air fryer.

Do I need to cook the pasta before adding it to the air fryer?

Yes, the pasta should be boiled separately, then mixed through the air-fried tomato and feta sauce once it’s cooked and creamy.
