This crispy snack is simply pasta that's cooked and then tossed in a spicy cornmeal coating and quickly fried. Serve these nibbles hot or at room temperature. Ingredients:
8 ounces bow-tie pasta |
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal |
3 tablespoons spicy creole seasoning (we tested with tony chachere's more spice creole seasoning) |
vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain well, and blot pasta dry with paper towels.
2. Combine cornmeal and Creole seasoning in a large bowl. Toss pasta, a handful at a time, in cornmeal mixture to coat; shake off excess.
3. Pour oil to a depth of 2 in a Dutch oven; heat over medium-high heat to 375°. Fry pasta, in batches, 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Store pasta snacks up to a week in an airtight container.
