Notes
- This recipe works with any type of tortellini and you can even use frozen ravioli too!
- Make sure you give the oil plenty of time to heat up. I like to start heating it while I”m working on breading the tortellini. That way it’s plenty hot by the time I’m ready.
- It’s important to thaw out the tortellini before breading it so it cooks through when fried.
