Yes I did just deep fry Spaghetti and Yes it actually works. Fried Spaghetti is a typical Sicilian street food that can be found at various Italian food markets. Great as a snack or a replacement for popcorn or potato chips next time you watch a Martin Scorsese flick. Its surprisingly brilliant and can be served on its own or wrapped around skewered meatballs, chicken goujons and deep fried.
Ingredients
Pre cooked Spaghetti (Drained well of excess water when cooked)
2 Litre Vegetable or Sunflower oil
Sea salt
Balsamic Vinegar
Method
Either using a deep fat fryer at 180c or a tall & large heavy based sauce pan, add the oil and heat to 180c or until a small piece of bread browns.
Ensure the spaghetti is drained well and all excess water is shaken off, Deep fry for about 3-4 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Remove from the oil and place on kitchen paper/towel. Then season with a few shakes of balsamic vinegar and a good grind of sea salt (just like you do with fish & chips). You'll be able to fold the pasta a bit when still warm so that it fits into a paper cone or mug easily for serving. Eat Immediately and enjoy the experience.
