Feta is a traditional Greek semi-aged and crumbly cheese, the crown jewel of their cuisine. In this recipe, I suggest it as a pasta dressing, but you can also serve it as an appetizer for an easy lunch or dinner with some slices of fresh or toasted bread.
Casarecce with Feta, Cherry Tomatoes, and Olives in an Air Fryer combines fresh and flavorful ingredients that blend perfectly, creating an explosion of flavor in every bite. If you, like me, enjoy easy and quick main dishes, you should also try these Penne with Tomato Cream and Robiola.
If you don’t have casarecce, you can substitute them with other pasta shapes like fusilli or penne. But now let’s see how to prepare Casarecce with Feta, Cherry Tomatoes, and Olives in an Air Fryer

Steps
Start by putting the pot on the stove with water and salt. Wash the cherry tomatoes, dry them, and drizzle the tray with extra virgin olive oil, where you will cook the feta with tomatoes and olives
Add the feta, whole cherry tomatoes, pitted olives, salt, pepper, oregano, some broken basil leaves, and season with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
Place the tray in the air fryer and cook at 356°F (180°C) for 14 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the pasta following the package instructions
Take out the tray from the air fryer, as you can see the feta remains compact yet soft
Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to break it down
Mix and stir well
Drain the casarecce and add them to the sauce, keep some water in case you need to add it to the cream
Here are your Casarecce with Feta, Cherry Tomatoes, and Olives ready!
