Ingredients

  • 5.5 oz (150 g) cherry or grape (baby plum) tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped
  • ½ tsp mixed dried Italian herbs
  • 3 tbsp double (heavy) cream
  • ¼ cup (30 g) grated cheese, something strong like parmesan or vintage cheddar
  • 4.5 oz (125 g) pasta
  • basil or parsley, optional garnish
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 180C / 360F.
  • Set your pasta boiling according to package instructions.
    4.5 oz pasta
  • Toss your tomatoes with the olive oil, garlic, herbs and some salt and pepper. Scatter into an 8 inch cake pan.
    5.5 oz cherry or grape (baby plum) tomatoes, 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 tsp mixed dried Italian herbs, salt and pepper, 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Add the pan into the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the tomatoes are browning, reduced and slightly jammy.
  • Add the cheese and cream to the pan, a little more salt and pepper if you wish, and mix through. Put it back in the air fryer for 30 seconds (this will help the cheese melt and the sauce to form)
    1/4 cup grated cheese, 3 tbsp double (heavy) cream
  • When the pasta is ready, drain and add to the pan. Mix through.
  • Serve with basil or parsley leaves and additional cheese if desired.
