Viral TikTok Pasta Chips (Oven-Baked, But Better) 

These oven-baked pasta chips take the TikTok favorite to a whole new level with a satisfying crunch, simple seasoning, and a creamy dip that’s hard to resist. Made with bite-size pasta like rigatoni, coated in olive oil, herbs, and Parmesan, then toasted in the oven, they offer a healthier, oven-crispy alternative to traditional chips. Paired with a garlicky, herby cream cheese–Greek yogurt dip topped with juicy cherry tomato slices, they’re perfect for movie nights or sharing as a party snack.
