But First, We Need Supplies (Because Adulting, Apparently)
This recipe isn't about fancy ingredients or complicated techniques. We're keeping it real, people. Here's what you'll need to whip up this masterpiece:
- A box of your favorite pasta: Fusilli (corkscrew) is a classic choice, but feel free to get funky with penne, rotini, or whatever your heart desires. Just remember, the twistier the pasta, the more surface area for that glorious cinnamon sugar goodness.
- Vegetable oil for frying: We're not deep-frying here, but a shallow pool of oil is key to achieving that golden brown perfection.
- Cinnamon sugar: The holy grail of this recipe. You can make your own by mixing cinnamon and sugar (shocker!), or grab a pre-made mix from the store. We won't judge.
- Powdered sugar (optional): For an extra dusting of sweetness, a sprinkle of powdered sugar on the finished product is the ultimate decadent touch.
Operation Cinnamon Twist Pasta: Let's Do This!
- Boil the Pasta: This is the, uh, pasta part of the recipe. Follow the package instructions for your chosen noodle and cook it to al dente perfection. Remember, we want the pasta firm enough to hold its shape during the frying process.
- Heat Up the Oil: In a large skillet or pan, heat your vegetable oil over medium heat. You want it hot enough to sizzle when a drop of water hits it, but not so hot it starts smoking.
- Behold! The Pasta Transformation: Here comes the fun part! Carefully add your cooked pasta, a few pieces at a time, to the hot oil. Watch in amazement as your humble pasta morphs into beautiful, golden brown twists. This may happen quickly, so keep your eyes peeled! About 30 seconds per batch should do the trick.
- The Sugar Rush Awaits: Using a slotted spoon, remove your fried pasta and transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. While it's still warm, toss it generously in your cinnamon sugar mixture. Get in there and coat those bad boys!
- Presentation is Key (Kind Of): Transfer your cinnamon sugar pasta to a plate and admire your work. For an extra flourish (and because we deserve it), dust it with some powdered sugar.
Now, the most important step: Devour it all and savor the sweet, slightly-unconventional victory.
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
