Fried Tortellini with Spicy Tomato Dip

Cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and let cool.

In a bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

Dredge each tortellini in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

Carefully add the coated tortellini to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the fried tortellini with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle the hot tortellini with grated Parmesan cheese immediately after frying.

Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
