In the heart of the kitchen, the air is thick with the aroma of fresh herbs and sun-ripened vegetables, as I prepare my Supreme Pasta Salad. This delightful dish is a vibrant medley of textures and flavours, bringing together al dente fusilli, crisp bell peppers, juicy cherry tomatoes, and the unmistakable crunch of cucumber. I can’t resist tossing in a handful of fresh basil and a sprinkle of feta cheese, which adds a tangy depth that elevates the entire salad.

As I drizzle over a zesty lemon vinaigrette, the colours dance playfully, beckoning everyone to gather around the table. Each forkful tells a story of summer picnics and family gatherings, with the noodles providing a comforting embrace to the robust ingredients. This isn’t just a salad; it’s an invitation to experience the joy of good food and the warmth of togetherness. In a world that can often feel rushed, creating this simple yet exquisite dish is a reminder of why I love to be in the kitchen.

Air fryer calzones are a delightful twist on the classic Italian dish, merging convenience with flavour. These golden parcels, typically stuffed with a scrumptious mix of ricotta, mozzarella, and your choice of fillings—be it pepperoni, spinach, or roasted vegetables—are remarkably simple to prepare. The air fryer circulates hot air, creating a crispy outer crust while keeping the inside beautifully gooey.

To whip up a batch, begin by rolling out your dough into circles, adding generous spoonfuls of filling in the centre, and folding them over to form half-moon shapes. A quick brush of olive oil on the surface enhances the browning process. Cook them in the air fryer for around 10 to 15 minutes, and you’ll be rewarded with a satisfying crunch and a deliciously melty centre. Serve them piping hot with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, and you have a perfect snack or light meal that’s sure to impress.
