Air Fryer Prawns Pil Pil Pasta

I'm so excited to share with you a third recipe from my brand new book, The Ultimate Air Fryer Cookbook: 15 MINUITE FEASTS! My family always orders prawns pil pil whenever we visit Spain. It never disappoints. Over the years, we’ve tasted countless variations, each restaurant adding its own twist, some with more garlic, others with a fiery kick, and occasionally a touch of smoked paprika or even a splash of sherry. I’ve created a dish inspired by all those memorable meals. It’s our holiday favourite, reimagined in the air fryer, quick and perfect for a cosy night in.

Air Fryer Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni

The great thing about this air fryer spinach cannelloni is that if you don’t have time to make the cannelloni from scratch, lots of supermarkets sell them fresh and ready rolled. Adding the pesto to the cheese and spinach just gives it that little extra flavour too.

Air Fryer Salmon Gnocchi

This dish is everything I love about quick, comforting cooking! Rich, creamy and full of flavour, yet ready in under 20 minutes. The air fryer makes the salmon perfectly tender, while the gnocchi turns beautifully golden and crisp on the outside. Stir it all together with a silky red pesto cream sauce and a handful of spinach, and you’ve got a meal that feels indulgent but couldn’t be easier to make.
