¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)

½ cup marinara sauce

Instructions

1. Mix together the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, and red pepper flakes.
2. Cook the tortellini until it’s near al-dente. Drain, and coat it generously with flour.
3. Dip each piece into the beaten eggs, and then into the panko mixture.
4. In a high-walled skillet, pour enough oil to cover the tortellini completely, about an inch high.
5. 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.
6. Place on a paper towel, pat dry, and serve with warm marinara sauce!
