Pasta Chips, an idea born out of the hills of Tuscany and made from real pasta, are now available at major retailers, including Harris Teeter, Roundy’s, ShopRite, Safeway, Carr’s, Vons, Mariano’s, Albertsons, WinCo, and Randalls as well as Plaid Pantry, Quick Chek and Sheetz; other c-stores will carry the new snack in January.
During a visit to Italy, Pasta Chips creator Jerry Bello, was served fresh pasta dough that was gently baked, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt crystals. As soon as he tasted this unique chip, he says he knew he had to share it.
Pasta Chips are made with the same semolina flour, ancient grains and Italian herbs that were celebrated more than 800 years ago, according to the company. The Tuscan-inspired chip is married with different seasonings based on regional Italian favorites that are steeped in hundreds of years of Italian culture and living.
Pasta Chips have 4g of protein, are cholesterol free and contain 60 percent less fat than potato chips and 20 percent less fat than pita chips.
