I came up with this recipe as a way of using up some leftover cooked lasagna noodles. I love the crunchy baked ends of lasagna! That is exactly what this tastes like when dipped into your favorite pasta sauce! So good and very easy to make!
Perfect for an appetizer or snack!

1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
3 Tbls, grated parmesan or romano cheese

DIRECTIONS:
Pat the cooked lasagna noodles dry.
Then cut them in half crosswise.
Then cut them into 1 inch strips lengthwise. You should have strips that are about 5 1/2 inches long by 1 inch wide.
Heat about 1/2 inch of corn oil in a 9-10 inch diameter frying pan(non-stick if possible)
In a large flat plate, mix together the

Press each side the noodle strips firmly into the bread crumb mixture and set aside.
When oil is hot, place 3 breaded strips into the hot oil and fry on each side for about 2 minutes or until nicely browned.
Remove from oil and blot on paper towels.
Continue until all the strips are fried.
Serve warm with warm pasta sauce for dipping.
