Ingredients
- Rigatoni pasta (as much as you need)
- Ricotta Cheese
- Mozzarella Cheese (Shredded)
- Cream Cheese (softened)
- Parmesan Cheese (Grated)
- Romano Cheese (Shredded)
- Eggs
- All-purpose Flour
- Bread crumbs
- Olive Oil
Instructions
Step 1
Begin by boiling the rigatoni pasta two minutes shorter than what is written on the packaging. Make sure that the boiled pasta is completely drained of any excess water. Stir in the olive oil.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and Romano cheese.
Step 3
Place the mixture in a ziplock bag or a piping bag. If you are using a ziplock bag for piping, seal it and trim the corners.
Step 4
Place the cheese mixture on one side of the cooked rigatoni. Flip it over and fill the other side. Place the frozen rigatoni onto a parchment or a cookie sheet. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Step 5
After coating each rigatoni with flour, dip them gently in the beaten egg. Then, coat with breadcrumbs.
Step 6
Use a slotted spoon to drop three to six pieces of breaded rigatoni in the hot oil at 350° F. Fry each batch for three minutes, until it is golden brown. Continue with the rest of the pieces.
Step 7
To remove excess oil, line them with a paper towel. Present your meal with chopped parsley and parmesan cheese. For additional flavor and texture, add Alfredo sauce and marinara sauce to your pasta fritta.
