Parmesan Fried Tortellini
This recipe comes with a warning: These are addicting! OMG they are just so good you can’t stop eating them. But the good news is they are so easy to make. Buy a bag in the frozen or refrigerated section of your grocery store, dredge them in some wonderful cheese and seasoning and fry away! So crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can’t eat just one.
Parmesan Fried Tortellini
1 package (9 ounce) cheese tortellini
2/3 cup flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/3 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Marinara sauce (I love Ragu Onion, Mushroom and Garlic)
Cook the tortellini in boiling water until al dente and drain well.
Set up your dredging station: one shallow bowl for flour, one shallow bowl for the beaten eggs, and the last bowl for breadcrumbs and seasonings.
Mix together breadcrumbs, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder and Parmesan cheese.
Working in small batches coat cooked tortellini with flour and shake off excess.
Next dip them in your beaten eggs. Finally, dredge them in the bread crumb mixture, pressing down to make sure it sticks.
In a large skillet heat oil to 365 degrees. Working in batches fry the tortellini about two minutes or until golden brown flipping halfway through.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve with your favorite warmed marinara.
Perfect for parties and get togethers….. but be ready, they go fast!
