Can I use pasta shapes other than farfalle?
Yes. Any cooked pasta works—penne, rigatoni, or shells create similar texture. Avoid very thin shapes like angel hair, which may burn.
How do I know when the pasta chips are done?
Air fry at 375°F until the edges are golden brown and the pasta feels crisp when cooled slightly, typically 8–10 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. Cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes to restore crispness.
Do I need to cook the pasta all the way through?
Cook pasta until just al dente or slightly firm. Overcooked pasta will not crisp properly in the air fryer.
Can I add other seasonings?
Absolutely. Italian seasoning, black pepper, paprika, or red pepper flakes work well. Toss with the pasta before air frying.
