Got some leftover pasta? Here’s how you can turn them into yummy fritters

Wanna hear a never-ending story? That container of leftover pasta is probably still in your fridge.

To help you free some fridge space after the holidays, Chef Jose Sarasola shared an easy recipe for left-over pasta fritters on “Unang Hirit.”

These tasty snacks might just be the perfect merienda for kids, and they’re very easy to make.

First, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Leftover pasta
2 eggs
Breadcrumbs (3/4 cups)
Parsley
Parmesan cheese
Oil (2 tbsps.)
Salt
Pepper

1. Mixture. Cut up some cooked pasta into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Add two eggs, together with your parmesan, oil, a little bit of salt and pepper, and breadcrumbs for crunch.

2. Ball them up. Take a little bit of the mixture and ball up the pasta with your hands. Carefully lay them individually on a plate or flat surface so they can be ready to fry.

3. Fry. Make sure your oil is hot before popping in your fritters. Cook them for a couple of minutes on each side.

4. Dry. To make sure your fritters stay nice and crispy, let them cool down on a paper towel for a few minutes after frying.

5. Now for the fun part: Toppings. Once your fritters are ready, make them look extra-appetizing by sprinkling some parsley and a little bit more parmesan cheese on top.
