Neapolitan Pasta Fritters Recipe

Ingredients:

• 500g cooked spaghetti
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the cooked spaghetti, parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, beaten eggs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into balls, about 2-3 tablespoons each, and roll them in bread crumbs until fully coated.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pasta balls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per batch.
4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fritters onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. Let cool for a few minutes and serve hot.

Verdict:

Neapolitan pasta fritters are a delicious and crispy way to repurpose leftover spaghetti. The mixture of parmesan and ricotta cheese along with the garlic and parsley add a great flavor that complements the pasta. Perfect as appetizers or a quick snack.

Serving suggestions:

Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. Garnish with some more chopped parsley or grated parmesan cheese. Enjoy as a starter or snack.
