# What You'll Need:
→ Pasta
01 - 200 g (7 oz) short pasta, such as rigatoni, penne, or farfalle
→ Oil
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Seasonings
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

# Directions:
01 - Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until just al dente. Drain thoroughly using a colander and pat the pasta dry with a kitchen towel.
