Pasta Chips
Description
This recipe begins by cooking rigatoni pasta al dente, then seasoning it with olive oil, freshly grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Air frying at 400°F crisps the pasta into crunchy chips, ideal as a snack or party finger food.
The accompanying dip is prepared by processing crumbled feta cheese with Greek yogurt, garlic, and olive oil until creamy and smooth, making a rich, tangy complement to the savory pasta chips.
While best enjoyed freshly made for maximum crispness, the pasta chips store well at room temperature in an airtight container for up to five days, allowing for advance preparation or leftovers. This pairing offers a creative way to repurpose pasta with bold, fresh flavors and enjoyable textures.
Ingredients
For the Pasta Chips
- 8 ounces rigatoni pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- kosher salt
- black pepper
For the Whipped Feta Dip
- 4 ounces feta cheese crumbled
- 2 ounces Greek yogurt
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook pasta al dente according to package directions and drain.
- Toss the pasta with olive oil, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Air fry at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, tossing a couple times.
- Make the Dip. Add crumbled feta to a food processor and pulse to create small crumbs. Add in Greek yogurt and garlic and blend while streaming in the olive oil until the feta is creamy, 4-5 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Serve the pasta chips with the whipped feta dip.
Notes
- For best texture, eat pasta chips shortly after preparation.
- Store leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days while retaining crunch.
