Description

Ingredients

• 1 (9 oz.) package refrigerated three cheese tortellini*
• 1 cup oil (varies slightly depending on pan size)
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
• 2 Teaspoons of Parsley, chopped well
• ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)
• ½ cup marinara sauce

Directions

• Mix together the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, and red pepper flakes.
• Cook the tortellini until it’s near al-dente. Drain, and coat it generously with flour.
• Dip each piece into the beaten eggs, and then into the panko mixture.
• In a high-walled skillet, pour enough oil to cover the tortellini completely, about an inch high.
• Heat the oil over medium heat and cook the tortellini for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. You may have to do this in batches.
• Place on a paper towel, pat dry, and serve with warm marinara sauce!
