- Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Tomatoes:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, toss the cherry or grape tomatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, dried basil, and oregano.
- Air Fry the Tomatoes:
- Place the seasoned tomatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the tomatoes are tender and slightly charred.
- Combine Pasta and Boursin Cheese:
- While the tomatoes are air frying, return the cooked pasta to the pot.
- Add the Boursin cheese to the pasta and stir until it’s well combined and creamy. The heat from the pasta will help melt the cheese.
- Add the Tomatoes:
- Once the tomatoes are done, add them to the pasta and cheese mixture. Gently toss to combine.
- Serve:
- Transfer the pasta to serving plates or bowls.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired and garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
- Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy this quick and creamy pasta dish.
Cooking Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
- You can substitute Boursin cheese with other soft cheeses like cream cheese or goat cheese if preferred.
- Add protein like grilled chicken or shrimp to make the meal more substantial.
Pairing Suggestions:
This pasta pairs well with a simple side salad or some garlic bread. A crisp white wine or a refreshing sparkling water can complement the creamy flavors.
