Fried Lasagna Nuggets
Few words are more evocative than lasagna - comfort food, scourge of waistlines, fetishised lust meal of cartoon cats. Here at Twisted Towers we love paying homage to one of Italy's great culinary exports with a cheeky twist, and this might be one of our favourite yet. Tasty little chunks of lasagna deep fried until crispy on the outside, gooey with mozzarella and rich ragu on the inside.
