Ingredients

• 24 sheets Won ton wrappers
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 14-ounce can Canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
• 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 2

Lay won ton wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the ricotta mixture in the center of each wrapper.

Step 3

Brush the edges of the won ton wrapper lightly with the beaten egg. Fold the wrapper into a triangle or shape of choice, pressing the edges firmly to seal.

Step 4

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the won tons in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 5

To make the spicy tomato sauce, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add crushed red pepper flakes and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and water. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Serve crispy won tons warm with the spicy tomato dipping sauce on the side.
