If you enjoy pasta as much as I do, these fritters will make you very happy. They are not deep-fried and extremely easy to create with very minimal prep time. You know those days when you are looking for an easy, quick appetizer so you can concentrate more on the main course? Well, this could be the one.
All you need is spaghetti and some fresh herbs for the flavor. And if you don’t have any pasta at home, try any kind of thin noodle of your choice and smack it up with the spices or herbs you like. Do not over fry it; just two minutes on each side should be enough.
Just like any other fritters, serve it hot immediately after you fry it.
