I had something like this in an Italian restaurant in Chicago and loved it, so I was thrilled when this recipe caught my eye.

How To Make ricotta fritters

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta, eggs, cream, flour, cheese, basil, parsley, salt and pepper. Whisk the mixture together until it’s well combined, set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, add enough oil to come up about ¼ of the way up the sides, get the oil nice and hot over medium-high heat.
Step 3

Using a ¼ cup measuring device, add your dollops of ricotta mixture to the hot oil and allow them to cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain them on a paper towel lined plate.
Step 4

Cook these in batches and keep adding more oil if you need to in between batches.
Step 5

Serve with some marinara sauce or eat them as is!
