Ingredients

For the oven baked pasta chips:

4 cups rigatoni pasta
2 tsp rosemary
2 tsp oregano
2 tsp thyme
2 tsp basil
2 tsp marjoram
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
3 tbsp olive oil
2 cups Parmesan cheese

For the dip:

100 ml Greek yogurt
7 tbsp cream cheese
5 cherry tomatoes, sliced
1 tsp garlic, minced
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
2 tsp choice of extra herbs and spices

Instructions

Oven baked pasta chips:

Gather all the ingredients for the oven-baked pasta chips.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the pasta until al dente according to the package instructions.
Drain the cooked pasta in a colander.
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease with oil.
Spread the pasta in a single layer on the baking sheet. Make sure the pieces are not overlapping or touching!
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and herbs to make a quick dressing. Pour it over the pasta.
Sprinkle the pasta with Parmesan cheese, then toss until everything is well-coated.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pasta is crisp and golden.

Dip:

In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and cream cheese until smooth.
Add the garlic, salt, pepper, herbs, and spices, then blend until smooth and well combined. You can add a little olive oil as needed to reach your desired consistency.
Top the dip with tomato slices.
Serve with the freshly baked pasta chips and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to cook your pasta before baking! Otherwise, the chips will be too hard to bite.
Cook your pasta just until al dente to keep it firm and prevent it from falling apart when tossed in the dressing.
You can air fry these pasta chips at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking halfway, until they turn golden brown.
