Ingredients
- 2 cups pasta (penne, rigatoni, or farfalle)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
- Marinara or ranch for dipping
Instructions
- Cook the pasta until al dente, then drain and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Toss the pasta in a bowl with olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings until well coated.
- Choose Your Cooking Method:
- Air Fryer: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Spread pasta in a single layer and air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Spread pasta on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Frying: Heat oil in a pan and fry in batches until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm with marinara, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure the pasta is completely dry before cooking.
- Customize the seasoning with BBQ, Cajun, or truffle salt for a unique flavor.
- Best served fresh, but leftovers can be reheated for a crispier texture.
