Ingredients
- 2 cups rigatoni or farfalle (bow-tie) regular, whole wheat, chickpea, or gluten-free
- 1 - 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the rigatoni. Cook al dente according to the package. When done, strain the pasta and add it directly to a mixing bowl.
- Meanwhile, preheat your air fryer to 380°F.
- Toss the cooked pasta with olive oil, seasonings, salt, and parmesan cheese.
- Add it to the preheated air fryer basket and cook for 10 – 14 minutes until golden brown and crispy. I recommend shaking the basket at the 6-minute mark since all air fryers are different.
- Enjoy immediately! Garnish with extra parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve as a side with your favorite main dish or as an appetizer with marinara sauce or pesto for dipping.

Notes
- Parmesan: You can substitute parmesan cheese with Romano cheese, Pecorino cheese, or nutritional yeast.
- Make It Vegan: You can make this recipe vegan by omitting the parmesan cheese and substituting it with nutritional yeast.
- Use any kind of pasta. I love using regular wheat, chickpea, or protein pasta. You can also use lentil, gluten-free, and whole-wheat pasta.
- Storing: Air fryer pasta chips are best enjoyed straight out of the air fryer. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
