Method

For the Mozzarella Triangoli

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mozzarella

    Cut the fresh mozzarella into quarter moon shapes, about 1 cm thick.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Season the flour with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Mozzarella

    Coat each piece of mozzarella first in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Repeat until all pieces are breaded.

  4. 4

    Fry the Triangoli

    In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded mozzarella in the oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

For the Homemade Marinara Sauce

  1. 5

    Sauté Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

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

  3. 7

    Simmer the Sauce

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