200 gFeta cheese block
400 gCherry tomatoes
2 clovesGarlic(minced)
2 tbspOlive oil
0.5 tspDried oregano
1 pinchSalt(to taste)
1 pinchBlack pepper(to taste)
250 gPasta(such as penne or fusilli)Gluten
120 mlHeavy cream
30 gFresh basil(chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
In an air fryer-safe baking dish or basket, place the block of feta cheese in the center. Arrange the cherry tomatoes around the feta.
Drizzle the feta and tomatoes with olive oil. Add the minced garlic and dried oregano. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Air fry for 15-20 minutes, or until the feta is soft and slightly golden, and the tomatoes have burst and are juicy. Carefully remove from the air fryer.
While the feta and tomatoes are air frying, cook the pasta according to package directions in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Once the feta and tomatoes are done, gently mash them with a fork in the baking dish to create a creamy sauce. Stir in the heavy cream until well combined.
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce. Toss everything together, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Garnish with fresh chopped basil and serve immediately. Enjoy your creamy air fryer feta pasta!

💡 Tipp

For an extra kick, add some red pepper flakes along with the oregano. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the air fryer alongside the tomatoes. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or milk to loosen the sauce if needed.
