Dip with marinara sauce
# Instructions:
01 -
Cook tortellini to a firm texture (al dente) following the package guide. Drain and let them air dry on paper towels.

Grab three shallow dishes: add flour to the first, beat eggs in the second, and mix Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and seasonings in the last one.
03 -
Roll tortellini in flour first, dip next in eggs, and finally cover them with breadcrumb mix, pressing gently to stick it on.
04 -
In a large pan, warm up oil to 350°F. Fry tortellini a few at a time for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping once they turn golden and crispy.
05 -
Place fried tortellini on paper towels. Sprinkle with some extra Parmesan, if you're into it, and serve warm alongside marinara.
# Notes:
01 -
Tastes best right after frying while crisp and warm
02 -
Use refrigerated or fresh tortellini, not dried ones
03 -
Reheat in the oven to make them crispy again
