How To Make Air Fryer Pasta Bake With Ham And Cheese

Ingredients

• 300g dried fusilli pasta
• 600g passata
• pinch salt
• 200g ham – we used shredded ham
• 80g Cheddar cheese – grated

Instructions

1. Cook the pasta as per the packet instructions. You need to cook it until al-dente, so still with a little bite. This should take around 8-10 minutes in salted boiling water.
2. Once cooked drain the pasta using the colander and set to one side.
3. Add the passata and shredded ham to the pan with the drained pasta. Then give it all a good mix together to coat all the pasta with the tomato sauce.
4. Then, divide the pasta into the silicone baking baskets and then sprinkle over the grated cheese.
5. Put the silicone cooking pot filled with the ham and cheese pasta bake into the air fryer basket.
6. Air fry at 180C for around 8-10 minutes. You want to be sure that the ham has reheated thoroughly, the tomato sauce warmed properly and the cheese is melted and turning golden brown on top.
7. Once the pasta bake is cooked, remove it carefully from the air fryer and serve with your favourites salads, garlic bread or vegetables.
