I entertained with a bag of Alfredo, Marinara, and Garlic-Olive Oil flavors. I served a side of spinach yogurt dip on the side, which was a-mazing. The great thing about the chips, as you know I am a bit of a health aficionado, - the chips are actually baked, taking that guilt off right away.

Here's a bit of history from the creator of the Pasta Chips --
I would like to take you on a journey through Italy with our delicious Pasta Chips, an idea born in the hills of Tuscany at a small, authentic Osteria, where food comes alive with the passion associated with Italy. This Tuscan inspired chip is made with semolina flour and Italian herbs, married with different seasonings based on regional Italian favorites, is steeped in hundreds of years of Italian culture and living. Pasta Chips come in 5 flavor packed varieties: Spicy Tomato Herb, Sea Salt, Marinara, Alfredo and Garlic Olive Oil.
The thing is it's not about being Italian, or Italian American, but rather the notion that this is a type of chip made from pasta and if you're a foodie, this type of variation on a pasta chip can be an interesting accent to your dishes. The idea threw me off, but the taste and concept are amazing. I would recommend and most likely buy these again for my next party. It really allows for creativity if you want to accompany the chip with a side dish of either dips or antipasto.
Check out their site and you can actually buy Pasta Chips in most grocery stores.
