Chilled tortellini coated in breadcrumbs & fried to golden perfection make an incredibly tasty snack. Make this Deep Fried Tortellini as a crispy & crunchy appetizer that is perfect for any game day, tailgating or party.
Mmmmmm – you know, there are some things you try that really make you want to have more. The other night we went out for some Italian. We were celebrating some things- promotions, birthdays & house stuff. Lots of things to be happy & thankful for – so of course food (in large quantities) was part of the day.
We ordered a sampler appetizer platter. It had deep fried ravioli for us to try. Holy smokes- how have I never had them before??!! It was one of those moments where you look at it & say “where has this been all my life?”.

The very next morning I sent the hubs on a mission to pick me up some ravioli. Well- he came home with ravioli but also tortellini. We ended up using the ravioli for the Tuscan Ravioli Soup I shared last week. So no worries- I can fry the tortellini just as easily- right?!! ๐ That is where these Deep Fried Tortellini come into the mix.
Every bit as good as the ravioli in the restaurant.
