Ingredients

  • 1 classic lasagna, chilled overnight
  • 6 cups vegetable oil (1.5 L), for frying
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 g)

How to Make It

1. Step
Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet.

Cut the chilled lasagna into 12 equal pieces, then cut the pieces into 4 triangles, for a total of 48 pieces. Set the triangles on the wire rack and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4 hours, until solid.
3. Step
Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot fitted with a deep fry thermometer over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
4. Step
Add the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs to 3 separate shallow bowls.
5. Step
Remove the lasagna triangles from the freezer and dredge in the flour, then the eggs, then the bread crumbs.
6. Step
Working in batches, fry the lasagna triangles in the hot oil for approximately 1 minute, until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain and let cool for about 10 minutes.
7. Step
Serve the lasagna bites warm with marinara sauce alongside.
8. Step
Enjoy!
