How to cook

Prepare spaghetti balls

Reheat ready-to-cook spaghetti with sauce according to package directions.
Mix it with Italian dried herbs, shredded cheese and 2 whisked eggs in a bowl. Fold well, taking extra care not to break the spaghetti into small pieces.
Shape the spaghetti mixture into 1 1/2″ balls.
Combine the remaining egg with water and whisk to make an egg wash.
Cover spaghetti balls in flour, egg wash and panko bread crumbs. Make sure you have an even coating.
Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or so, for a firmer ball.

Start cooking

Heat oil in a deep pan on medium-high heat. Once it reaches around 165°C, deep fry the balls until golden brown.
Serve with your favourite marinara sauce.
