Fried Pasta With Plum Sauce
Ingredients
3 large Ripe purple plums, quartered/pitted

2 tbsp Grape jam

2 tbsp Ketchup

1 tbsp Brandy

1/4 tsp Lemon peel, grated

1 Thin slice fresh ginger root

1 package (1 lb.) bow-tie pasta*

2 large Eggs

4 cup Fine fresh bread crumbs

Preparation
*Or 2 (9 oz.) pkg. refrigerated agnolotti, tortellini or cheese ravioli.



Make sauce. In food processor or electric blender, puree first 6 ingredients. Set aside.



If using bow-tie pasta, cook as package label directs. Drain; rinse with cold water. In large bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Add cooked bow-tie pasta or uncooked refrigerated agnolotti; toss until thoroughly coated with egg. Drain off excess egg.



Place bread crumbs in another large bowl; add prepared pasta. Toss until thoroughly coated with bread crumbs.



Preheat oven to 250 degrees. In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat 2 to 3 inches salad oil to 375 degrees on deep-fat thermometer. Add 1/4 of prepared pasta; fry 6 minutes, or until deep golden brown. With slotted spoon, remove pasta to paper towel-lined jelly roll pan.



Place fried pasta in oven to keep warm while frying remaining prepared pasta, 1/4 at a time. Serve immediately with plum sauce as an appetizer. Makes 2 cups sauce, 5 cups pasta.
