→ For Serving
10 -
Dip with marinara sauce
# Instructions:
01 -
Cook tortellini in boiling water as per package instructions until just tender. Drain them well and lightly pat dry with a paper towel.
02 -
Get three separate bowls ready: the first with flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with a combination of breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and seasonings.
03 -
Dip each tortellini into the flour, then the egg mixture, and finish with the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to make sure the coating sticks.
04 -
In a large pan, heat oil until it reaches 350°F. Cook the tortellini in small batches, flipping halfway, and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side until crispy and golden.
05 -
Place fried tortellini on paper towels to get rid of extra oil. Sprinkle more Parmesan on top if you'd like, and enjoy them hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
Tastes best while still warm and crunchy.
02 -
Chilled or fresh tortellini work better; avoid dried ones.
03 -
Reheat leftovers in an oven to make them crispy again.
