Air fryer garlic parmesan pasta chips with whipped feta

Instructions

  • 1.Boil the pasta

    Boil the rigatoni for about 10 minutes, following the packet’s al dente timing.
    Drain thoroughly and let steam escape for 2 minutes: wet pasta will brown less evenly.

  • 2.Whip the feta

    Blend the feta, yogurt, lemon juice and teaspoon of oil into a thick cream.
    Refrigerate while you cook the chips.

  • 3.Season

    Toss the pasta with the tablespoon of oil, garlic and 20 g of parmesan.
    Save the remaining cheese and parsley for serving.

  • 4.Air fry

    Preheat according to your manual.
    Spread the pasta without crowding and air fry at 200°C for 8 minutes, shaking halfway.
    Taste a slightly cooled piece; add one minute at a time if it is still soft, stopping at a light golden colour.
    Work in batches if needed.

  • 5.Serve

    Rest the chips for 2 minutes, then add the remaining parmesan and parsley.
    Serve straight away with the whipped feta on the side to keep the chips crisp.

Tips from Atelier Airfryer

Choose the right shape

Rigatoni or large penne are easy to dip.
Avoid very thick or underboiled pasta, which can stay hard in the centre.

Make ahead

Keep the dip refrigerated separately from the boiled pasta.
Crisp the pasta just before serving; mixing it into the dip makes it soft.
