Ingredients

  • 16 oz Bowtie Pasta
  • ½ Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ Cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 Cups Plain Breadcrumbs
  • 3 Tablespoons Creole Seasoning
  • 1 Cup Parmesan Cheese
  • Cooking Oil for frying

Instructions

  • Add pasta to boiling water, cook for 8-10 minutes (until al dente) then drain.
  • Place on a tray with paper towels and pat until all bowties are dry.
  • In a large bowl add the dry bowtie pasta and add the flour, onion powder and garlic powder. Mix well so all bowties are coated evenly.
  • In two large mixing bowls, add the eggs and cream to one and the breadcrumbs, parmesan and seasoning to the other. Mix both bowls well.
  • First pass the bowtie pasta through the cream mixture then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Heat the cooking oil to 350°F and fry the bowties in batches. Each batch will only need about 3 minutes of cooking time each.
  • Remove from the hot oil and place on a tray lined with paper towels to drain.

Notes

Fry in batches, if you add too many bowties to the oil it will cool the oil down too much. Also, the pasta may stick together. For this amount of bowties I cooked in 4 batches of 3 minutes each.
