Introduction
Meet my version of the Internet’s favourite viral pasta recipe, air fryer style. If you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, it’s simple: with a rich tomato sauce composed of ‘roasted’ tomatoes and fresh basil, blended with smooth, creamy and flavourful feta cheese, it’s hard to believe you made it yourself using so few ingredients. Trust me, you just need to try it!

Ingredients
| 1 | yellow (bell) pepper, deseeded and cut into 1cm (½ inch) chunks |
|---|---|
| 5 tbsp | garlic-infused oil or olive oil |
| 200g (7oz) | dried gluten-free pasta |
| 450g (1lb) | cherry tomatoes |
| 150g (5½oz) | feta |
| ½ tsp each of | salt and ground black pepper |

Essential kit
You will need an air fryer.
Method
Heat or preheat the air fryer to 200°C/400°F (crisping tray or basket removed).
Add the yellow pepper and oil to the air fryer and shake/stir well until the pepper is coated. Air fry for 10 minutes until the pepper is softened.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions, until al dente, then drain.
Add the cherry tomatoes and the whole block of feta to the air fryer with the peppers and shake/stir well once more until the tomatoes are well coated in the oil. Air fry for 20 minutes, turning the tomatoes over halfway through, then add the salt, pepper and basil. Stir well until it forms a wonderful, thick and creamy tomato sauce.
Add the drained pasta and stir it in until well coated in the sauce. Air fry for a further 2–3 minutes until the sauce has reduced a little.
Sprinkle with extra chopped basil and serve with gluten-free garlic bread (page 192 of Gluten Free Air Fryer ).
Freezer friendly: Once cooked and cooled, freeze for up to 3 months. Air fry from frozen at 180°C/350°F for 7–8 minutes until piping hot.
