Everyone else is posting low fat, low carb recipes. And I’m just like hiiiii, I just deep fried lasagna.

Can I get points for topping it with something green? And dipping it in tomato sauce?  I mean come on this thing is practically a salad.

Dig in with me! Creamy on the inside, crunchy on the outside. SO many good layers of flavor.

Deep Fried Lasagna Tips:

1. Don’t skip freezing the lasagna bites. I know you want them NOW, but they will melt/explode if the cheese isn’t cold enough.
2. Don’t crowd your skillet, work in batches until all are fried. The oil will stay hot, and your lasagna will stay crispier!

Serve with:

1. Skillet Lasagna
2. One Pot Sausage Pasta
3. Avocado Egg Rolls
4. Spaghetti With Meat Sauce
