Crisp, crunchy, parmesan-loaded tortellini bites – so good, you won’t be able to stop eating these!
So we’re just about to head into October and we cannot be more excited about Halloween.
Mainly, because of this.
I even bought this costume in the summer because I just couldn’t wait until now.
I almost wish I could dress him in this every day, but that would be too mean. He could barely sit still in this costume for about 30 seconds.
And now I’m craving a hot dog on a delicate brioche bun. Mmmmm. Oh well, these tortellini bites will have to do.
Crisp, crunchy, parmesan-loaded fried tortellini. Perfectly bite-sized and so addicting.
Now these only go well with fresh tortellini. I do not recommend using the dry pasta as it will become a very big mess.
And be sure to have extra freshly grated Parmesan on the side – you’ll want to sprinkle that everywhere before devouring every last one of these!

2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

4. Working in batches, dredge tortellini in flour, dip into eggs, then dredge in Panko mixture, pressing to coat.
5. Add tortellini to the skillet, 8 or 10 at a time, and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
6. Serve immediately with marinara sauce, garnished with additional Parmesan, if desired.
