Instructions

1. Cook the Tortellini: Begin by boiling the tortellini in vegetable broth. Once they are perfectly al dente, remove them from the broth and drain. Set them aside while you prepare the creamy sauce.

2. Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce: In a saucepan, gently heat the fresh cream over low heat. Add the whole milk and stir in the freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Continue stirring as the cheese melts, then grate a pinch of nutmeg for added flavor. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep the sauce warm on low heat.

3. Assemble the Skewers: Thread three cooked tortellini onto each wooden skewer. You should aim to make 12 skewers in total. Set them aside while you prepare to fry them.

4. Prepare the Egg and Breadcrumb Coating: In a shallow bowl, beat the egg with a fork. In a separate dish, place the breadcrumbs. Dip each skewer of tortellini into the beaten egg, ensuring that the tortellini are well-coated. Then, roll them in the breadcrumbs to form a crispy coating.

5. Fry the Skewers: Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully fry the tortellini skewers for about 1 minute, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides.

6. Drain the Skewers: Once fried, remove the skewers from the oil and place them on a tray lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

7. Serve: Arrange the crispy fried tortellini skewers on a serving platter and drizzle with the warm, creamy Parmesan sauce. Serve immediately as a delightful appetizer that combines rich, cheesy goodness with the crunch of fried tortellini.
