Airfried Feta Pasta is a version of the viral TikTok trendy Baked Feta Pasta that has been taking over the internet the last couple of weeks.
I am using the exactly same concept, however cooking the Feta Cheese in the Airfryer instead. You can check my recent post about Airfried Feta Cheese Salad for another delicious, cheesy Airfryer recipe involving the infamous Feta Cheese.
Due to its natural saltiness of the cheese, this recipe does not require any additional salt. I do advise though to add your choice of spices and herbs. In my case it is rosemary, pepper and a bit of cayenne red for an extra kick. I am a big fan of Rosemary (especially fresh one) and its flavor goes very well with the tanginess of the Feta Cheese. Many of the recipes I have seen online add Basil which is a great combination as well.
Finally, I have added extra cheeses for that gooey texture we all love. This step is, of course, optional. I do imagine though that many would enjoy it. After all, this Airfried Feta Pasta is not the healthiest meal.
