Cooking Tip
You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you prefer a bit of heat in your pasta.
2
Variation
Add grilled chicken or shrimp to make the dish more protein-rich.
Notes
1
Heat the air fryer to 180°C (356°F). Meanwhile, cook the penne pasta in a pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
In a bowl, toss the sliced courgettes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them in the air fryer basket and cook for 8 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
3
Remove the courgettes from the air fryer and set aside. In the same air fryer basket, place the halved cherry tomatoes, drizzle with remaining olive oil, and cook for 5 minutes until soft.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, air-fried courgettes, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss well to combine.
5
Transfer the pasta mixture back to the air fryer basket. Cook for another 3 minutes to heat through and allow the cheese to melt.
6
Garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving.
