I couldn't come up with a good reason not too, and it turns out that they are deliciously addictive. Cacio e Pepper is literally cheese and pepper, which is all you need for this quick, tasty and crunchy treat.
Pasta Chips are one of my photography clients, so I'm always trying new things with them. It usually turns out that some of the simplest things are the best. I used the Alfredo flavor pasta chips for this recipe, but any flavor would be great. Pasta chips are available on Amazon (affiliate link), major grocery store chains and other retailers.
