How to Make They Be Lovin' Dem Deep Fried Spaghetti Balls

Step-by-Step

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.
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.
Deep fry at 330 degrees until golden brown. Serve with your favorite marinara sauce.
