Sweet Fried Pasta Dough - Pasta Fritta Italian Frappe Directions
-
Cut each pasta sheet in half width-wise.
-
Cut each half of the pasta sheets into 3 strips, then into 4 squares per strip.
-
Cut each square in half diagonally to create pasta triangles that are easy to eat. (approx. 48 triangles per pasta sheet)
-
Heat the oil to 350 degrees in a medium-sized pot or a deep fryer kettle.
-
When the oil is at the correct temperature, drop 5-6 pasta triangles into the pot and stir around gently with metal tongs or a basket strainer.
-
Allow the pasta chips to bubble slightly and turn golden brown, about 45 seconds per side.
-
Remove the pasta chips from the oil and allow them to drain on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels.
-
Repeat the frying steps for the remainder of the pasta triangles.
-
Cool the pasta chips and use in the recipe or store them in a metal tin for 2-3 days.
-
Once the pasta cools slightly, dust liberally with powdered sugar or cinnamon and sugar.
-
Serve as dessert or a sweet snack.
