Dipping marinara sauce
# Instructions:
01 -
Simmer the tortellini in salted water following the package, drain, then let them dry on paper towels.
02 -
Organize three shallow dishes: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last with a blend of breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic powder, and seasoning.
03 -
Dip each tortellini first in flour, coat it in egg next, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture.
04 -
Pour oil in a deep skillet and heat till about 350°F. Fry tortellini till crispy, flipping after 2 or 3 minutes.
05 -
Let them rest on a paper towel, sprinkle with extra Parmesan if you'd like, and serve with marinara.
# Notes:
01 -
Best eaten right after cooking when still warm and crisp.
02 -
Stick to refrigerated or fresh tortellini—dried ones won’t work well.
03 -
Reheat leftovers in the oven to make them crispy again.
