I’ve always had a soft spot for the crispy, well-baked pasta bits that you find at the edges of lasagna or baked ziti. My mom once made a pasta pie filled with spaghetti, sauce, meat, and cheese, baked in a pie dish. The best part? Those delectable crispy edges with crunchy pasta and caramelized cheese.

So, when I stumbled upon the Pasta Chips recipe taking TikTok by storm, I felt a sense of validation. I know there are others out there who appreciate those golden pasta pieces that some might dismiss. Honestly, I was a bit annoyed that I hadn’t thought of it first! Now, I can whip up a whole plate of these delightful snacks in just about half an hour, without needing to prepare an entire meal.

The recipe is straightforward and can be customized to suit your taste by adding various spices and cheeses. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to satisfy those salty cravings. The next time PMS hits, I’ll definitely be making these (and keeping them all to myself).

How to Make Pasta Chips

To start, cook your favorite pasta shape—I went with ziti, but any pasta that’s easy to dip will work. Once cooked, make sure it’s nice and dry; I gently patted mine with a dish towel.

Then comes the fun part: generously coat your pasta with olive oil and sprinkle on your preferred spices. Think Italian seasoning, oregano, basil, crushed red pepper, salt, pepper, or lemon pepper—the possibilities are endless. After that, don’t hold back on the Parmesan cheese; you want your pasta bursting with flavor!

You can either air fry your seasoned pasta or bake it in the oven at 400°F for 20 minutes. I opted for the oven since I don’t have an air fryer, and it turned out perfectly. With all that olive oil and cheese, it tasted as if I had fried it!

Once baked, you can sprinkle some grated mozzarella on top and add fresh herbs to elevate the dish (which I fully intend to try next time). These pasta chips make a fantastic appetizer for any Italian meal, and the dipping options can get quite fancy. I used tomato sauce, which was delicious, but I also think ranch or blue cheese dressing would be great choices.

Delicious Dips

One popular dip that people rave about is whipped feta, made by blending four ounces of feta, two ounces of Greek yogurt, two tablespoons of olive oil, and a garlic clove in a food processor until light and fluffy.

I absolutely adored this recipe; it was like indulging in Italian nachos! My kids were surprisingly fans too, despite their usual aversion to caramelized cheese and crispy pasta. They particularly enjoyed the red pepper flakes, which makes sense since they love spicy snacks like Hot Cheetos and Takis.

Even if you’re skeptical about the idea of fried pasta coated in cheese and spices, I encourage you to try it—you may be pleasantly surprised at how delicious it is. Plus, it’s super easy to make, and you likely already have the ingredients in your pantry.

Leftover Pasta Solution

The best part about pasta chips? I now know how to use leftover pasta after our pasta nights. My kids each have different preferences for toppings; my oldest loves sauce and meat, while my younger ones prefer just butter and Parmesan. I can’t tell you how many containers of leftover pasta I’ve tossed in the fridge!

Now, after a pasta dinner, I simply bake the rest into pasta chips the next day. They’re so good that they’ll be gone in a flash—no waste, just taste!
