How To Make they be lovin' dem deep fried spaghetti balls

Step 1

Combine spaghetti, Italian seasoning, cheese and 2 whisked eggs to a mixing bowl. Fold well, try not to break up the spaghetti into small pieces.

Make 1 1/2" balls. Combine remaining egg with water and whisk.
Step 3

Dredge spaghetti balls in flour, egg wash and panko bread crumbs. Make sure you have an even coating. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or so, for a firmer ball.
