Yes you can fry dry pasta.
You can put some dried pasta into a deep fryer and deep fry the dry pasta for a few minutes and have crunchy fried pasta.
I've tried the fried pasta before and it's pretty good.
Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Chicken and Zucchini and Tomato Ragu go well with pasta.
With my pasta or noodles I like to eat some Stuffed Peppers and Burritos.
Some side dishes that pair well and go good with pasta and noodles are.
Burrata Salad with Stone Fruit and Asparagus.
Kale Salad with Persimmons, Crispy Chickpeas and Shallots.
Zucchini and Tomato Ragu.
Cacio E Pepe Brussels Sprouts.
Spring Panzanella Salad.
Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Chicken.
You might also consider the side dishes that go well with soup which also go well with pasta or noodles too.
Some good side dishes that go good with soup as well as pasta and noodles are bread, garlic bread, garlic bread sticks, roast beef sandwich, chicken legs, fried chicken, ham, bacon and toast or some Mexican Rice or just a bowl of rice.
When I eat soup or noodles or even pasta some side dishes I like to have are some bread sticks, Tacos, Sausages, Nachos, Corn Chips, Tamales or some fried chicken.
What I like as a good side dish for soup is either a bowl of beans or a salad.
Sometimes when I'm eating soup I want a bowl of beans as a side dish and sometimes I prefer to have a salad alongside the soup.
When it comes to beans as a side dish for the soup a bowl of black or pinto beans or refried beans are good for the side dish.
A nice salad with some chicken or bacon is also great to eat alongside the soup.
Or a side salad made from lettuce tomatoes and avocados is also great for a side dish to go along with the soup.
Or just some chips and some avocado dip or chips and cheese dip is also great to eat with soup.
