These are one of my favorite snacks!  Yes, they are fried, yes they are salty, yes they are delicious, and yes, they are addictive!  My Grandmother made a version of these and me and my siblings always loved them!  So how do you make these delectable treats you ask?  They are so simple!  Here you go:

Bowtie Pasta Crunchies

1 lb. bowtie pasta

the juice of 1 lemon

a handful of Follow Your Heart parmesan cheese (optional)

kosher salt to taste

What you’ll do:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add in the bowties and a handful of salt.  Cook halfway.  Drain.

Working in batches, transfer some bowties into about 1/2 cup hot vegetable oil.

When the edges get golden, flip.  Remove once golden on both sides.  This process is very fast.  Careful not to burn yourself : )
