Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Cook the dry farfalle pasta according to package directions for the for the maximum cooking time, a minute or two more than al dente.1
While the pasta is cooking, place the grated parmesan cheese, Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Then, use a small whisk or fork to combine everything, making sure to break up any lumps in the cheese. Set the bowl aside until ready to use.
Drain the pasta in a colander set in your sink; DO NOT rinse it. Then, transfer the pasta to a large bowl. While the pasta is still hot, pour the olive oil over and use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to stir the oil into the pasta, making sure all the noodles are well coated.
Sprinkle the parmesan cheese mixture over the pasta while it's still warm. Then, quickly stir the cheese mixture with the pasta, making sure all the noodles are well coated.
Line two half-sheet pans with parchment paper. Place the pasta in an even layer on one pan, trying to make sure that none of the pasta is touching; it will stick together. Then, place the pan on the center rack in a 400°F oven for 15 minutes. Place the remaining pasta pieces on the other pan while the first pan is cooking in the oven.
Remove the first pan from the oven, place the second pan on the center rack, and bake for 15 minutes. Flip each pasta piece over on the first pan, making sure to separate any pasta that has stuck together. When the second pan is done, remove it from the oven and place the first pan back in the oven for 12 minutes.
Flip pasta pieces on the second pan over, making sure to separate any pasta that has stuck together. Once the first pan has finished, and the pasta chips are golden brown, remove from the oven and place on a wire cooling rack. Place the second pan in the oven and bake for 12 minutes.
When the pasta chips have cooled, transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with some grated parmesan cheese. Serve with sides of pasta sauce, Alfredo sauce, and pesto sauce.
