Experiment with different pasta shapes and colours, taking care not to over-boil the pasta to prevent breakage while frying.

1 tsp oil
salt to taste
1 cup gluten free pasta (readily available)
1 1/2 tsp dried mixed herbs

Heat the oil in a broad non-stick kadhai and deep-fry the pasta, a few at a time, till they are crisp and brown in colour from all the sides.
Drain on an absorbent paper, sprinkle the herb-pepper masala on it and toss well.

This recipe is great to serve for cocktail parties, it is a very unusual recipe and can also be stored in a jar and eaten when hungry. The dried herbs taste great.
