Pastina pasta
Fregola
Quick answer
Fregola are toasted semolina pearls from Sardinia.
Fregola means "crumbs" in Italian.
Best sauces: clams (arselle), seafood broths. Match the shape to the sauce — long thin pasta for oil and light sauces, tubes and ridges for chunky or meaty sauces, flat egg ribbons for rich ragù and butter.

Quick answer
How do you convert oven time and temperature to an air fryer?
Lower the oven temperature by 25°F (about 15°C) and cut the cooking time by roughly 20 percent. A dish that bakes 30 minutes at 400°F becomes about 24 minutes at 375°F in the air fryer — check at the 15-minute mark the first time.
