Pasta Bake using Airfyer

The airfryer makes it simple to cook pasta bakes, since there's no need to warm up the oven. The oven is pretty much used to heat up the whole pasta and to brown the cheese. The Airfryer can do it this and do it in a shorter amount of time than the oven. The only downside is if you're making individual portions of Pasta Bake like I did here for lots of people, using the airfryer isn't really an advantage because you have to airfyer them one by one and that might take too long. You could perhaps make it in advance and then you just reheat it again for a few mins before serving.

The recipe for the pasta bake itself is simple, just use any shaped pasta you want, cook it till al dente or even shy of al dente, then mix it with some precooked meat, veges like peas, chopped spinach, mushrooms, and mix in some cheddar and mozzarella mix. I bought individual ramekins from Daiso and they fit perfectly in the basket. It's actually better to place it on top of the Grill Pan, because it's easier to take out once it's cooked. Once you've spooned them into the ramekins, top with more cheese and some breadcrumbs or crushed biscuits for extra crunch and cook in the airfryer for about 7minutes on 200degrees (I pretty much cook everything on 200degrees).
