1/4cupgrated Parmesan cheeseplus extra for topping

Instructions
Boil pasta al dente according to package instructions (around 9 minutes). Drain and set aside.
Spray air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray. Preheat on 400° F for 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked pasta, olive oil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and oregano. Salt and pepper, to taste. Stir to combine completely.
Spoon pasta into preheated air fryer basket. Air fry on 400°F for approximately 7 minutes for crisp, but chewy pasta. Cook for approximately 10 minutes for crispy pasta chips.* Stop and shake the basket halfway through the time. (You may have to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.)
Remove from air fryer and top with additional Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
*Every air fryer is different, so you may want to start out air frying the pasta for 6-7 minutes, trying it and then seeing if you want a crispy pasta chip and need it to cook more.
