Comfort season is well and truly in full swing, where we’ve swapped light lunches and salads for hearty, warming meals which nourish the soul. One of the easiest meals to rustle up during the week is pasta, but did you know that you can actually cook it in an air fryer ? Air fryers have become the must-have kitchen staple over the past few years, promising to deliver quick, nutritious meals at cost-saving prices. Although an air fryer may not be the first appliance that comes to mind when making pasta, BBC Good Food’s Food Editor & Test Kitchen Manager Ailsa Burt has revealed just how easy it is.
Pairing gnocchi with sausages and leeks, Ailsa said in a video uploaded to Instagram : “We are well and truly in to cosy comfort season. When you get home after work and you just want to get cosy on the sofa pronto.” Describing the air fryer pasta dish as “hands-off”, Ailsa explained that the most preparation you’ll need is some chopping.
The Reel has been viewed over 95,800 times already, with pasta fans amazed by the innovative cooking technique. @justgimmefries commented: “Need to try this!” @thebloodyfoody said, “Funky, that's easy, love it,” while Good Food’s own skills and shows editor Barney wrote: “This looks amazing.” @likeswildthings agreed: “I did not know you could cook gnocchi in an air fryer! Will give this a go!” So if you’re looking for an intriguing new pasta dish to try, this is what you’ll need for Ailsa’s air fryer gnocchi.
