About

In 2021, pasta chips (or crisps) took over TikTok. While I wasn’t initially convinced by the idea of frying pasta as a chip substitute, I decided to put a creative twist on it. This recipe blends elements from Italian classics, such as frittatine di pasta from Campania and pasta al forno with its cheesy 4-formaggi filling. Little did I know, it would go viral with over 10 million views! This recipe is playful, cheesy, and the perfect party food.
