What are pasta chips?

Pasta that have been cooked then either deep fried, Ari fried, or oven baked-making them a crunchy and delicious snack, appetizer, or meal. 

What pasta can I use to make these pasta chips?

You can use any short pasta such as farfalle, elbow noodles, penne, rigatoni, ziti, rotini, and if you’d like use gluten free pasta!

I also love using Fiber Gourmet Pasta! It’s one of my NEW favorite low point pasta!  It’s Kosher, Vegan certified, non-GMO, and has zero artificial colors or flavoring-with only 17 net carbs vs. 41g, only 100 calories vs. 210 calories, & an astounding 25 gram of fiber vs. for a 2g serving of regular pasta.  I’m telling you, it has the same great taste, texture but with more fiber, fewer calories, and 1/2 the points than regular pasta! You just can’t go wrong with the Fiber Gourmet Pasta- now it’s a little more expensive but it’s so worth it to me to and it may be worth it to you!! You can find it HERE on Amazon-which sells it in a 6-pack.

Another great option is the Barilla Plus pasta, which can be found at most grocery stores or HERE on Amazon in an 8 pack- its also high in protein and lower in points than most regular pasta.  

What ingredients do I need to make these Pasta Chips?

• Uncooked short pasta- farfalle, elbow noodles, penne, rigatoni, ziti, rotini, Fiber Gourmet pasta which is lower in points than regular pasta, if you have whole grain as a zero point food you can use whole grain for zero points or if you’re gluten free- use a gluten free pasta!
