Air-fried pasta transformed into crispy, golden bites with olive oil, Parmesan, and Italian spices.
# What you need:
→ Pasta
01 - 9 oz short pasta (penne, rigatoni, or farfalle)
→ Seasonings
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
04 - 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
05 - 1/2 tsp paprika
06 - 1/2 tsp salt
07 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
→ Cheese
08 - 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
# Directions:
01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until just al dente following package directions. Drain thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated.
03 - Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the seasoned pasta and toss gently to distribute the cheese evenly.
04 - Preheat the air fryer to 400°F if required. Arrange the pasta in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
05 - Cook the pasta chips in the air fryer for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking process to ensure even crisping, until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
06 - Allow the pasta chips to cool slightly before serving. Pair with preferred dips such as marinara sauce or pesto.
