Instructions
Cook the pasta
Boil the pasta until just al dente — slightly firm. Drain well.
Season
Toss the warm pasta with the olive oil, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, chili flakes, salt and pepper until coated.
Air fry
Spread in a single layer and air fry at 390°F for about 10–12 minutes, shaking a couple of times, until golden and crunchy.
- Cook the pasta just al dente — overcooked pasta won't crisp.
- Shake the basket so they crisp evenly.
- They harden as they cool, so pull them when golden.
