Air-Fried Pasta Chips

Air-Fried Pasta Chips

David Venable

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Serves: 4–6

Ingredients

  • 8 oz dried bow tie pasta
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1-1/2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/2 cup freshly shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for garnish

Preparation

Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil.
Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 8 to 9 minutes.

Meanwhile, line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
Once the pasta is cooked, strain but do not rinse the pasta.
Pour pasta onto the parchment-lined sheet tray.

Working while the pasta is still warm, but cool enough to handle, evenly drizzle the olive oil, granulated garlic, and salt.

Toss to coat. Evenly spread out the pasta again and sprinkle on Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Working in batches, place pasta in a single layer in your air fryer basket.

Try not to overlap too much.

Air fry at 400°F for 6 to 8 minutes, checking the progress at the 6-minute mark.

As batches finish cooking and are still warm, sprinkle over more Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Sauce

  • 8 oz seasoned marinara
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese

 

To make the sauce, add marinara to a blender and puree until smooth.

Add mascarpone and blend again until smooth and well mixed.

Pour into a bowl and serve with pasta chips.

Cook's Notes

These pasta chips may also be baked at 375°F for 15 to 18 minutes if you don't have an air fryer.
