directions

Step 1

In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the elbow pasta to al dente. See package for instructions.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, bring heavy cream to a simmer and slowly add in all cheeses, except for the Parmesan. Stir until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Drain pasta and add to cream and cheese mixture. Stir until all pasta is covered. Place in refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from refrigerator and scoop pasta into balls, rolling until uniform and about 3 inches in diameter. Set aside.

Step 5

In 3 separate bowls, place flour, whisked eggs, and breadcrumbs. Roll each individual pasta ball first into flour, then eggs, then roll in breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Fill a deep saucepan with canola oil, enough to fill 3 inches of the pan. Heat the oil until 350ºF. Carefully drop pasta balls into heated oil and fry for about 3 1/2 minutes. Remove and drain balls on paper towel. While still hot, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
