Steps
To make the pasta with feta and cherry tomatoes, first wash and dry the cherry tomatoes or, if you prefer, the grape tomatoes.
For the air fryer cooking method, simply place the feta in the center of the basket, removing the rack. Alternatively, for the oven method, place it in a baking dish. Add the cherry tomatoes, salt, oregano, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Give it a quick stir at this point.
Cook in the air fryer at 375°F for about 20 minutes, or in the oven for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, also cook the pasta in salted boiling water.
Once the pasta is ready, drain it and transfer it directly into the air fryer basket or baking dish if cooked in the oven. Mix well; this way the feta and cherry tomatoes will melt, creating a delicious creamy sauce. Bon appétit!
Tips for you
✔ As you saw, you can cook the sauce directly inside the air fryer basket, removing the internal rack. Or you can cook it in a preheated oven in a baking dish, increasing cooking times.
✔ For this recipe, I used the 4.7L COSORI Air Fryer available on Amazon by clicking here.
