Ingredients
- 8 oz fusilli pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fusilli pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process. Make sure the pasta is well-drained.
- In a large bowl, toss the cooked and drained fusilli pasta with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, making sure the pasta is evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned pasta in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd. You might need to cook the pasta in batches if your air fryer has a smaller basket.
- Place the basket in the preheated air fryer and cook the pasta at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, shaking or stirring the pasta every few minutes to ensure even cooking. The pasta should turn golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them as cooking times can vary based on your specific air fryer model.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian Seasoning. Gently toss again until the cheese adheres to the pasta. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm with your favorite marinara sauce.
