Unlike the traditional deep-fryer method, the air fryer uses hot air circulation to cook the food, resulting in a crispy texture without the need for excessive oil. The cooking process in the air fryer is much faster than a convection oven and uses a consistent flow of hot air to cook the food, which ensures even cooking and consistent results every time.

• 16 oz (1 box) bowtie pasta
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup shredded or grated parmesan cheese

Cook pasta according to directions on the box until they are al dente in a large pot of salted water.

Drain the cooked pasta and put into a large mixing bowl.

Add in olive oil, seasonings, and parmesan and mix well, coating each bowtie as best as possible.

If using a basket air fryer: Put half of pasta mixture into the basket and air fry at 350 degrees f for 5 minutes.

Shake basket and repeat until edges of pasta begin to brown and pasta starts to look a little dry. Empty the basket onto a paper towel lined plate and repeat the process with the remainder of pasta mixture.

If using an oven style air fryer: Put half of the pasta mixture in a single layer on your cooking tray. Place in the center of the air fryer oven and cook at 350 for 8 minutes.

Using a spatula move pasta around to prevent sticking and make sure as many sides are exposed.

Cook for another 6-8 minutes until the pasta is crispy perfection. You want the edges to begin to look dry and golden brown. *Cook times will vary based on different air fryers and the size of the air fryer basket.

Empty tray onto a paper towel lined plate and repeat with remaining pasta mixture.
