How to Make It
1. Step
In a small bowl, stir together the cayenne, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
2. Step
In a medium bowl, toss the warm rigatoni with the buffalo sauce, butter, and half of the spice mixture until evenly coated.
3. Step
Preheat the air fryer to 390˚F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
4. Step
Add the pasta to the air fryer basket and cook for 8 minutes, tossing every 2–3 minutes and watching carefully to avoid burning, until the pasta is beginning to brown and crisp.
5. Step
In the same medium bowl, toss the pasta chips with the remaining spice mixture until well coated. Let the pasta cool slightly before serving, about 5 minutes. The pasta will continue to crisp as it cools.
6. Step
Serve the pasta chips with ranch dressing for dipping.
