These crispy and unusual snacks are a real hit at parties. They are a nice alternative to the usual chips and pretzels. Use bow ties or your favorite pasta shapes when making this recipe.

Tasty little treats. Something different compared to potato chips. We sent some to our neighbors but got mixed reactions. The kids loved them though. Read More

These were just okay seemed a little bizarre to me to have pasta as chips especially with all that seasoning in there. Wasn't impressed with them at all. Read More

These were actually really good! They were a bit time consuming but nothing to deter me from making these again. However I found it near impossible to get the seasoning to stick to the pasta. I had to omit the dry mustard since I didn't have any on hand but I substituted a few other seasonings and it was delicious. I think I'll try to experiment with different pasta shapes and try to find a way to get the seasonings to stick. Thanks. Read More

I must have fried them for too long. they had a wierd chewy tough consistency. They were hard to eat. If fried right they would still not be fabulous- not enough flavor. Read More

I made these over the weekend using some leftover rotini from another meal. We seasoned half of the pasta using the recipe above and half using just seasoned salt. I seasoned it right after removing the pasta from the skillet. We liked the seasoning salt better and it stuck better to the pasta. It made a nice crunchy snack although it is time-consuming. I think it would make a nice addition to a party snack mix using a variety of ingredients including nuts. Read More

I liked them but they certainly aren't the sort of thing that everyone will love. It's a lot like trying a new flavor of Doritos. I used shells which were great for eating but a bit difficult to fry. I also used grated Parmesan which had trouble sticking but the shells did a great job of catching the flavor. But the really important change was I dipped them in marinara sauce. That was fantastic! And this is a great thing to do with the large amount of pasta-based meals I find myself living off of. (Haha college student off the meal plan.) Read More

It was great. I recommend using a small pot of oil instead of the 4 tablespoons listed that way many can be fried at a time. I used vegan parmesan it was wonderful. Read More
