- Repeat Cooking: Remove the first batch and repeat with the remaining pasta mixture, adjusting time if needed.

- Avocado oil is a great alternative to olive oil.
- Nutritional yeast can replace Parmesan cheese for a dairy-free option.
- Feel free to switch Italian seasoning with your favorite herbs or spice blend.
- Adjust salt according to your taste.
- Omit red pepper flakes for a milder chip.
