Makes

10 servings

Ingredients

• 20 uncooked lasagna noodles
• 1 carton (32 ounces) whole-milk ricotta cheese
• 2-1/2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend, divided
• 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 6 large eggs, beaten, divided use
• 4 teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided
• Oil for deep-fat frying
• 2-1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
• 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce, warmed
• 1 jar (15 ounces) Alfredo sauce, warmed

Directions

1. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions for al dente. In a large bowl, combine ricotta, 1-1/4 cups Italian cheese blend, mozzarella, 2 eggs and 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning. Drain noodles. If desired, cut off ribboned edges (discard or save for another use). Spread about 1/4 cup filling on each noodle. Starting with a short side, fold in thirds. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat with remaining noodles and filling. Freeze just until firm, about 1 hour.
2. In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs, 2/3 cup Italian cheese blend and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Place remaining 4 eggs in separate shallow bowl. Dip lasagna bundles in eggs, then in crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
3. Fry bundles in batches until golden brown, 8-10 minutes, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Serve with marinara, Alfredo, remaining Italian cheese blend and additional Italian seasoning, if desired.
