Fried Tortellini

List of Ingredients

11/2 quarts vegetable oil, for deep frying
1 16-oz box dried tortellini
1 cup pesto, homemade or jarred,
or 2 cups marinara sauce, homemade or jarred, for dipping


Recipe

In a large saucepan or deep-fat fryer, heat vegetable oil to 3500 on a deep-fat
thermometer. Add uncooked tortellini in batches without crowding and cook until blisters
