Rigatoni or Farfalle (Bow-Tie Pasta) – Choose whichever pasta shape you love most. Farfalle gives a light, crispy crunch, while rigatoni offers a thicker bite. You can use regular, whole wheat, chickpea, or even gluten-free pasta depending on your dietary needs or what’s in your pantry. Just make sure it’s cooked al dente before air frying for the best texture.

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil – A light coating of olive oil helps the pasta crisp up beautifully in the air fryer. It also gives the chips a rich, savory flavor. You can substitute with avocado oil or any neutral oil if needed.

Italian Seasoning – This classic herb blend adds depth and aroma. It’s a mix of basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary—perfect for giving your pasta chips a little something extra in every bite.

Garlic Powder – Garlic powder brings a warm, savory flavor without overpowering the rest of the seasonings. It’s a must for that comforting, crave-worthy finish.

Salt – A pinch of salt balances the flavors and brings out the taste of the Parmesan and herbs. Use sea salt or kosher salt for best results.

Black Pepper – Adds a gentle kick and a touch of sharpness that cuts through the richness of the cheese.

Grated Parmesan Cheese – The star of the show! Parmesan melts and crisps up during air frying, creating a golden, cheesy crust on the pasta. Use freshly grated if you can—it melts better and gives amazing flavor.
