Here's the full recipe along with a few recipe tips for the best results.

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

• 1-1/2 pints whole cherry tomatoes (approx. 15 ounces)
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• fine sea salt, to taste
• fresh ground black pepper, to taste
• 8 oz. feta cheese in brine, drained
• 8 oz. Kaizen Ziti
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. Place the tomatoes in the air fryer basket (or in a large bowl). Pour in the olive oil and toss to combine. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper.
2. Arrange the block of feta in the center of the air fryer basket and season with more salt and pepper. The tomatoes should surround the feta in a single layer.
3. Place the air fryer basket in the air fryer and cook for 10-15 minutes at 400°F. It is done when the tomatoes have burst and are slightly charred.
4. While the tomatoes and feta cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lupini pasta. Boil pasta for 5 minutes for al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
5. When the tomatoes and feta are done, remove the air fryer basket and use a fork to mash the tomatoes and mix it with the olive oil and melted feta. This creates the pasta sauce.
6. Mix in the basil, garlic and red pepper flakes. Taste the sauce and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
7. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce. Mix to coat the pasta well.
8. Sprinkle cheese on top of the pasta and return it to the air fryer for 2-3 more minutes or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the pasta bake are golden brown.
9. Remove and serve topped with more basil and red pepper flakes, if desired.

• Feel free to play around with the seasonings! Italian seasoning or a dash of cayenne pepper are good options. Use 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder as a substitute for fresh garlic.
• You can substitute cheddar cheese or Parmesan cheese (or your favorite cheese!) for the mozzarella.
• Store leftover pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
• Want more extra protein? Top the pasta bake with sliced chicken breasts or a cooked filet of salmon.

 The air fryer method is one of the best ways to enjoy baked feta pasta! It's a quick, simple and flavorful meal- the perfect trifecta of healthy eating.
