Helpful Tips

• Choose the right pasta – Short, sturdy shapes like rigatoni, farfalle, or penne work best since they hold up well during cooking and crisp evenly.
• Dry the pasta well – After boiling, make sure to pat the pasta dry with a paper towel before seasoning. This helps the oil and seasoning stick better and ensures maximum crispiness.
• Don’t overcrowd while cooking – Whether air frying or baking, cook the pasta in a single layer to allow for even air circulation. Shaking the basket halfway through will also help achieve that perfect crunch.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup farfalle pasta dried
• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

 

• Boil a pot of salted water in a pot on the stovetop. Cook farfalle until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
• Transfer pasta to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle on Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning. Stir to coat the pieces evenly.

Air fryer directions:

• Spread the pasta out in the air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes on 400°F (200°C). Flip over and continue cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until crispy and golden. Allow to cool before serving.

Oven directions:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F(190°C). Spread the cooked pasta out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

• Cook the pasta a little more than al dente, about 8 minutes.
• Drain the pasta well and let it sit for 5 minutes to cool and dry.
• Remove the chips as soon as they start to get golden in color.
• You can use any flavoring that you can think up.
