Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Colander
  • Mixing bowl
  • Air fryer
  • Food processor
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • ═══ FOR THE PASTA CHIPS ═══
  • 8 ounces rigatoni pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • ═══ FOR THE FETA DIP ═══
  • 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 ounces Greek yogurt
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni pasta according to the package directions until al dente, then drain it in a colander.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss the cooked pasta with olive oil, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper until well coated.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F, then add the seasoned pasta and air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket a couple of times to ensure even cooking.
  • To make the feta dip, combine the crumbled feta, Greek yogurt, and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until you achieve small crumbs, then stream in the olive oil while processing until the mixture is creamy, about 4–5 minutes.
  • Serve the crispy pasta chips warm alongside the whipped feta dip for dipping.

Notes

  • Tip 1: For extra crunch, ensure the pasta is fully drained and spread out in a single layer in the air fryer.
  • Tip 2: Store any leftover pasta chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days for optimal freshness.
  • Tip 3: Substitute any short pasta shape for rigatoni if desired, such as penne or fusilli.
  • Tip 4: Save time by cooking the pasta while preparing the feta dip simultaneously.
  • Tip 5: Pair these pasta chips with marinara sauce or a spicy dipping sauce for added flavor.
