An easy recipe for the famous TikTok baked feta pasta – ready in just 15 minutes in the air fryer.
Pasta with baked feta and tomatoes, cooked in under 15 minutes in the air fryer and tossed with fresh basil and your favourite pasta. That is really all it takes.
It tastes wonderful, simple and satisfying – a quick and effortless weeknight dinner.
Serve it on its own, or alongside a piece of chicken, pork tenderloin or baked salmon.
Baked feta and tomatoes in the air fryer
Baked feta and tomatoes in the air fryer calls for very few ingredients, which is why it matters that the ingredients you do use are full of flavour. I would therefore always recommend buying good sun-ripened cherry tomatoes, ideally on the vine, as they have plenty of flavour.
Large, half-ripe tomatoes usually lack flavour, and the dish will end up on the dull side.
I also use a classic block of feta, not Puck (a Danish soft salad cheese) – just an ordinary block of feta, whichever brand my supermarket happens to stock.
I hope you will give my easy air fryer feta pasta a try.

- 500 g cherry tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 200 g feta, in a block
- 1 handful fresh basil leaves

Method
- Drizzle a splash of olive oil into the bottom of the air fryer basket and add the feta, tomatoes and sliced garlic. Turn the tomatoes in the oil to coat.*Halve the tomatoes if you like, or quarter them if they are large. Cherry tomatoes are best added whole.

- Bake the feta, tomatoes and garlic for 12-14 minutes at 190°C.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente, and remember to save a little of the pasta water.
- Tip the cooked pasta into the air fryer basket along with the fresh basil, toss well, and add a little pasta water until you have a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

Hvorfor ikke Puk? Konsistens eller smag?
Hej Lena
Du kan sagtens bruge puck hvis du foretrækker den, det er kun for at forklare hvad jeg har brugt 🙂
Personligt synes jeg at feta har mere smag, men det er absolut en smagssag 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
