How to Make Fried Pasta | The REAL Italian Pasta Chips Recipe

Sprinkle flour over the surface and create a volcano shape.

Add 2 eggs into the center of the volcano.

Add tomato paste into the egg mixture.

Beat the eggs while gradually incorporating flour.

Once mixed, start working the dough with your hands.

Add a pinch of salt and continue to knead the dough for about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

For the sweet version, repeat the volcano process with flour and eggs.

Add sugar and lemon zest to the sweet pasta mixture.

Knead the sweet pasta dough and cover it to rest for 30 minutes.

After resting, roll out the savory pasta dough thinly.

Stuff the savory pasta with grated parmesan and oregano, then roll it up.

Cut the rolled pasta into slices, keeping them closed for frying.

Roll out the sweet pasta dough thinly without stuffing it.

Cut the sweet pasta into slices, also keeping them closed for frying.

Heat sunflower oil in a pan for frying.

Check if the oil is hot enough by dropping a piece of pasta or bread into it.

Start frying the sweet pasta first, ensuring it bubbles and cooks evenly.

Fry until golden brown, then remove from oil and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Fry the savory pasta, adding salt after frying to avoid mushiness.
