OVEN FRIED TORTELLINI RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook tortellini to al dente according to package instructions. Drain. In a medium bowl, mix panko with parmesan, butter, oregano, garlic powder and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Coat tortellini with flour then dredge in egg mixture, then in panko mixture. Continue until all tortellini are coated. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with warmed marinara sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, toss tortellini with egg to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and oregano, and toss well. Arrange in a single layer on prepared pan. Bake at 400°F until browned on bottom, about 8 to 10 minutes. Turn tortellini over and bake until browned on bottom, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, to make dipping sauce, whisk flour with 1/4 cup milk until smooth. Heat remaining 1 cup milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming. Add flour mixture to pan and cook, whisking constantly, until sauce bubbles and thickens, about 4 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in mozzarella, dry mustard, paprika, salt, and cayenne (if using).
• Serving size: about ½ cup tortellini and 3 tbsp sauce
