Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups dry bow tie pasta (farfalle)
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste (about 1/4 tsp salt)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For Serving
- Warm marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400° F (200° C) and grease a large sheet pan to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pasta: Boil the bow tie pasta according to the package instructions until fully cooked and tender but not al dente, ensuring the center will be soft after baking.
- Drain and Season: Drain the pasta thoroughly and toss it with olive oil, grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to coat all pieces evenly.
- Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the seasoned pasta in a single, even layer across the greased baking sheet to promote even crisping during baking.
- Bake: Bake the pasta in the preheated oven for 18-24 minutes, tossing halfway through the baking time to ensure uniform browning and crispiness.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately while hot with warm marinara sauce for dipping to enjoy a crunchy and savory snack.
Notes
- You can also make these pasta chips in an air fryer set to 400°F, cooking for 7-10 minutes while shaking the basket every few minutes for even crisping.
- Any bite-sized pasta such as penne or rigatoni works well if you prefer to substitute farfalle.
- These chips pair wonderfully with a variety of sauces like basil pesto, Alfredo, or ranch dressing for different flavor experiences.
