👨‍🍳 Method
1. Build the Flavour Base
Place the butter, onion and red pepper into an oven-safe dish that fits your air fryer.
Sprinkle over:
BlixSam Garlic Melt Spice
BlixSam Lemon Leaf Spice
Air fry at 180°C for 8–10 minutes, stirring once, until the onions have softened.
2. Prepare the Sauce
Add:
Chicken stock
Fresh cream
Cream cheese
Stir until smooth.
Air fry for 5 minutes, stirring once.
3. Add the Seafood
Fold the seafood mix into the creamy sauce.
Cook for 6–8 minutes at 180°C, just until the seafood begins to cook.
4. Add the Pasta
Stir the cooked pasta into the sauce.
Sprinkle over:
BlixSam Zesty Voël Premium Spice
Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Fold through half of the mozzarella and half of the cheddar.
5. Finish
Top with the remaining mozzarella and cheddar.
Air fry at 180°C for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbling and lightly golden.
6. Serve
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with garlic bread or a crisp green salad.

🔥 BlixSam Tip
Don't overcook the seafood before adding the cheese. It will continue cooking while the bake finishes, keeping the prawns, calamari and mussels tender and juicy instead of rubbery.
