Begin by boiling a pot of water and cooking the pasta according to the package directions until al dente.
Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water. Shake to remove excess water.
Place the pasta in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Then add the cheese and seasoning and toss until pasta is well coated.
Place the pasta into an air fryer basket and set the fryer to 390°F for 8 minutes.
Shake the basket every couple of minutes to help the pasta cook evenly.
After 8 minutes check for doneness. It should be golden and crisp. If the pasta still feels soft place it back in the air fryer for 1-2 mintues checking after 1 minute.
When the pasta is done to your liking, remove from the air fryer and serve. Can be served hot or cold and with optional dip.
Notes
I have found short, tubular pasta such as rigatoni, penne or ziti works best as the shape allows it to cook more evenly.You will want 1 cup of raw pasta, or about 3oz by weight.You can use any seasoning blend you like. I like pizza seasoning, ranch seasoning and italian seasoning. Use 1-2 teaspoon depending on your prefrence and the salt content of the seasoning. Serve with dip if you like. Garlic dip, ranch or marinara all work well.
