Preparation of the pasta frittata in air fryer
The preparation of this pasta frittata is very quick, so I recommend you to start boiling lightly salted water in which we will cook the pasta, meanwhile, we focus on preparing the seasoning.
In a small pan, brown the ham in a tablespoon of oil, let it just golden, then add the olives rinsed from their brine and cut into rings.
Let them brown for a couple of minutes, then turn off the heat and in the meantime cook the pasta for less time than indicated on the package, I usually remove about 2/3 minutes from the total time.
While the pasta is cooking, break the eggs into a bowl, beat them with grated Parmesan, add the freshly browned ham and olives, and diced scamorza, drain the pasta al dente and mix it with this seasoning.
Line a baking dish with parchment paper, then pour in the pasta and bake in our air fryer for about 15 minutes at 356°F. The indicated times were optimal for my air fryer model (the one in the link) I still recommend checking during cooking because times may vary slightly!
An extra tip:
* You can replace the olives with peas sautéed in a pan with oil and onion;
* Instead of scamorza, any melting cheese or well-drained mozzarella will work;
* If there are any leftovers, you can store the pasta frittata in the refrigerator, wrapped in foil, for up to two days;
