Ingredients for Mozzarella Sticks

Ingredients for Marinara Sauce

Method

Directions for Mozzarella Sticks

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Sticks

    Take the mozzarella cheese sticks and freeze them for at least 1 hour to make them easier to fry.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and mix the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Remove the cheese sticks from the freezer. Dip each stick in the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure each stick is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cheese Sticks

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the breaded cheese sticks in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Directions for Marinara Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Marinara Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, sugar, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

  3. 7

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
