Jeffrey's Tips
Should you wish to make this “al forno” style (which is Italian for “baked in the oven”), simply add about 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese to the top of the pasta just before serving and place the air fryer lid on top. Hit Broil (400°) for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is bubbly brown to your likeness. If you don’t have an air fryer lid and wish it to be al forno, simply transfer the pasta to a large casserole dish, cover with cheese and broil in the oven for a few minutes until bubbly brown – just keep an eye on it as all ovens vary.
To make your own pesto sauce, add the following to a food processor and pulse until puréed:
1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts
