Need a break from chips and store-bought dip? Well, these pasta chips are pretty unique, and this grilled spinach and artichoke yogurt dip will be kinder to your beer belly than a cheese and salsa bomb. Alternatively, you could make that bacon jam we featured a little while ago and use that as dip. If you like a spicier chip, sprinkle some garlic powder, paprika, and pepper on your pasta before putting in the frying pan.
