1 tablespoon oil
Oil for deep frying

One of the following seasoning mixtures:

• 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon each chili powder, cumin, and onion salt

Cook the pasta in boiling salted water with 1 tablespoon oil until just tender.

Drain, spread onto wax paper and blot away excess moisture with paper towels.
