Recipe - Pasta Crisps

10 ounce Dry Pasta Twists
Multicolor, or
Golden
Canola Oil
One half cup Parmesan Cheese grated
1 teaspoon Italian Herb Mix
One fourth teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt And Cayenne

In a 5 or 6quart pan, bring about 3 quarts water to boiling. Add pasta
and boil, uncovered, until barely tender to bite, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain,
rinse with cold water, drain well. Spread out in a single layer on a
double thickness of paper towels; let stand until surface of pasta feels
dry, 25 to 30 minutes. In a bowl, mix pasta with 2 tablespoons of oil to
coat. Into a deep 3 to 4quart pan, pour about 1 inch of canola oil. Heat
to 375 degrees on a thermometer. Drop pasta, 1 piece at a time, into the
oil (don't drop one piece on top of another or it will stick); add One half to
Three fourths cup at a time. Cook, without stirring, until pasta is crisp and light
gold, 3 to 5 minutes. Lift out with a slotted spoon and set on paper
towels to drain. Repeat to cook remaining pasta. Place pasta in a large
paper or plastic bag. Add cheese, Italian herbs, garlic powder, and salt
and cayenne to taste. Shake well to coat pasta. Serve or, if made ahead,
let cool and store airtight up to 5 days. Makes 6 to 7 cups, about 12 to
14 snack servings.
