Ingredients
1 lb. farfalle pasta or similar
1½ tablespoons olive oil
½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, following the package instructions (about 10-12 minutes). Drain the pasta and let it cool for a few minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked pasta with olive oil, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Spread the pasta in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure that the pasta pieces are spread out evenly so they cook uniformly.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pasta turns golden and crispy, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade pasta chips!
Notes
Try different cheese options like Romano, Asiago, or a mozzarella-cheddar blend for a new twist.
Add extra herbs like basil, oregano, or thyme for variety.
For a spicy version, increase the red pepper flakes or add cayenne pepper.
For a vegan version, omit the parmesan and use a plant-based cheese alternative.
