Air fryer orzo puttanesca

This easy air fryer orzo puttanesca takes one-pot cooking to the next level. Recipe writer Louise Kenney describes this family-friendly dinner as “a mix between a risotto and a pasta dish”. Intrigued? “Little ones will enjoy orzo or use the mini star-shaped pasta usually reserved for soups,” says Louise. “Just omit the chilli and anything that resembles a vegetable… or perhaps that’s just my children?”

• Which type of air fryer to use: “This recipe works best in a wide (non-perforated) basket-style air fryer; if you have a smaller one, reduce the recipe by half,” advises Louise.
• Storecupboard winner: Ingredients in tins, tubes and jars – such as chopped tomatoes, miso paste, kalamata olives and dried pasta – are the stars of this recipe, making it easy to throw together midweek.
• Low-effort cooking: The water for the recipe is measured using the empty chopped tomatoes tin – meaning the only thing to clean up at the end is a knife, chopping board and the air fryer itself.
