Ingredients
•2 cups bow tie pasta
•2 tablespoons olive oil
•¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
•½ teaspoon garlic powder
•½ teaspoon onion powder
•½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
•Salt & black pepper, to taste
•Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for heat
Directions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook bow tie pasta until al dente.
- Drain pasta and let it dry for a few minutes (this helps it crisp).

- Spread pasta in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
