How I Do It
Mix the base together.
Put the cooked pasta, butter, milk, most of the cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Mix until everything is covered and smooth.
Put it in the air fryer
Put the mixture in a small oven-safe dish or an air fryer pan lined with parchment paper. Make sure it is spread out evenly.
Put the top on
Add the rest of the cheese (and breadcrumbs, if using) to the top.
Fry in the air
At 375°F (190°C), cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.
Take a short break
Let it sit for two to three minutes before scooping. It will get thicker and creamier.
Advice Based on Experience
If it looks dry halfway through, add a little more milk on top.
Add breadcrumbs in the last three minutes for more crunch.
This is a great way to use up extra pasta.
How It Tastes
The kind of mac and cheese that makes you close your eyes when you take your first bite. It’s creamy, cheesy, and a little crunchy on top.
