My sister makes this delicious appetizer for many of our parties and family get togethers. They may be made ahead of time and warmed up on a pizza tray just before serving. Serve with tomato sauce for dipping.
I feel that I have to rate this recipe because one persons bad review has brough the rating down. This is a simple and delicious recipe. It is best if you use unflavoured breadcrumbs.
Read MoreThis was awful!! Made it for a party and I can't say anyone really enjoyed it. If it hadn't been for my husband's homemade spaghetti sauce we served with it, this would have been a huge flop!! Definitely will not make again.

Very, very good. I didn't have any regular cornflakes, but I had honey-flavored ones. I mixed them with some Italian bread crumbs and had lemon chicken tortellini. Very unusual, and again, very good. I'll make this again.
I use ravioli too in a pinch, but these work better on a toothpick. These are always one of the first appetizers gone at my parties. I like to serve them with both spaghetti sauce and an alfredo sauce to dip them with. These are just like you would get in an Italian-American restaurant.
These were a huge hit at a recent party. Everyone loved them. I agree with the posters that said you need extra crumbs/eggs. I doubled (at least) the recipe for crumbs and egg dip. They are a bit of work, but WELL worth it. I used a spaghetti sauce, ranch dressing and hot sauce as dipping. Highly recommend the ranch....really good.
Great apps recipe. I used seasoned bread crumbs and added a little grated cheese and salt and pepper to it. Made a tomato sauce, alfredo sauce and a pesto to dip in.
This was great!I cooked it for a party I was going to and everyone told me how they loved it, if I were a teacher I would give it an A++! You rock Andrea!
I thought these were very good and they were actually quite fast and easy to make. I did use a bit more breadcrumbs (I made my own in a food processor) and I added a little grated parmesan. I also used basil and thyme instead of the parsley. I should have added a little more salt for some more flavor (I used about 1/4 teaspoon), but I will know for next time. I will definitely make these again! Thank you!
Very good! They were a huge hit! I sprinkled a little garlic salt over the tortellini after I fried them. YUM!
Absolutely the best idea ever! I used this along with several other recipes from allrecipes.com for a Baby Shower I hosted recently. This was wonderful. It took awhile to complete only because I made oodles more than the recipe called for, but otherwise this was wonderful! One tip for anyone planning to make a head of time. After deep frying, keep in a warm (200 degree) oven until ready to serve. They stayed crunchy and warm! Yum!!
I made these yesterday for my husband before dinner. He loved these bite size treats so much that he ate my share and skipped the dinner. The only reason I am giving it 4 starts because the seasoning(crum mix) was way too less than the recipe calls for. I also added chat masal(indian store) itailian oregano mix ,thyme, and a lot og hot crushed pepper to spice up the crum mix. Wonderful. Thanks for the unique idea.
Pretty good; I found that it helps if you add about 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of pepper, and 1 tsp. of garlic powder to the breadcrumbs/cornflake crumbs mix. This will be really good for appetizers, thanks!
very good, i used italian bread crumbs and no cornflakes in my recipe though. and it turned out good and was really fast to make
This was GREAT! Just what I was looking for. I didn't have any eggs, so I just tossed a little olive oil on them before breading them and it worked well. I will definitely make again. It hit the spot!
Yumo!! OMG i love this. i had a craving for fried raviollie and can across this one. i just so happen to have tortellini in the ice box and man im so happy i made them.. very good.best with ranch/
I thought this was an inventive way of making tortellini. I was out of corn flakes so used frosted cheerios instead. I'm sure that made a diffence in taste, at least a bit. I will say a marinara sauce is deffinately needed for these tortellini. Overall good finger food.
Had these as appetizers for the GBPackers game. I used bread crumbs and cornmeal. Mine were kind of crunchy, I expected them to be chewy (they kind of look like calamari!). Very good with red sauce! I also served with Ranch but liked the red sauce better. My FIL did not like them, but he didn't try them with red sauce ! (:
Fantastic! I made a huge batch for a party ad there wasn't a single one left! I definitely recommend this recipe!
I would never have thought of deep frying these! I was just looking for a recipe to use up the rest of my tortellini and this one sounded unique enough to try. Its delicious! The only suggestion I have is to at least double the crumb mixture. Thanks for the unique but very simple recipe!
I'm rating this based on some changes. Instead of tortellinis I used both cheese and beef raviolis. Omitted the cornflakes, using just Italian bread crumbs. I didn't measure the bread crumbs I just poured as much as I needed as I went along coating the raviolis. Was a hit on a work potluck. Served it with a jarred pasta sauce.
This was not good at all. Just didn't seem right. Wasted all that time frying them for nothing. Sorry.

To make these a bit healthier I baked them instead of frying them. I did them on 350F for 10 minutes, and they turned out great! Still crispy and delicious. I had a hard time knowing what to dip them in though. I added some "Johnny" seasoning to the breading near the end and really liked the flavour it added. I found that I needed a lot more breading than the recipe called for in order to fully coat the pasta.
I first fried 2 tortellini for my husband and I to taste and we thought they were a bit bland so I added some garlic powder and a little cayenne. This gave them more flavor and am thinking next time I will use Panko in place of the cornflake crumbs. Also, as soon as I take them out of the fryer I will sprinkle with a 3 cheese blend from my deli as we can never have too much cheese.
All 7 of my children loved this variation on pasta served with sauce. One of the kids even asked if I put the cheese in the pasta! Others called it chicken and ate it all up. thank you for sharing this recipe.
Loved this idea - something very different for us. I'm not crazy about tortellini, but I can eat most anything that's fried! Delicious and pretty simple.
I made this for a football playoff party. It was a huge hit. Nice change from buffalo wings. I've also had fried ravioli but this was better. We couldn't stop eating them.
Wow! This was wonderful!! I used frosted flakes instead of plain cornflakes, it was what I had on hand also used fresh tortellini. Hubby loved it and he's very picky.. Alitte time consuming buy sooooo worth it!!
This recipe came out great, I used honey cornflakes Italian herb breadcrumbs and a splash of cinnamon.
Very good, I needed a lot more crumbs and 2 more eggs though. I used Italian flavored crumbs and no flakes. Turned out great.
I was looking an appetizer for an Italian themed meal. I came across these and they are phenomenal! So crunchy and so delicious! They are easy to make and satisfying!
I followed this simple recipe & it was an instant family favorite! I highly recommend using exact ingredients. (The cornflakes!)
As soon as I put them in the oil they burned...within seconds they were burned
This was great and so easy. I added grated asiago cheese, dried herbs (I used seasoned bread crumbs but wanted more), and garlic powder to the bread crumbs. I also served with Alfredo mixed with some marinara. I only had frozen three cheese tortileni but cooked as directed, rinsed in cold water - and they worked just fine. They were a hit!
These were excellent and everybody loved them! I used the breadcrumbs and corn flake crumbs as a base. Use whatever seasonings you like. There were a couple of reviewers who said ranch dressing was their favorite dip, which I thought was weird. Turns out, it was my favorite dip too! Well worth the time and effort. I had a 19 oz bag of cheese tortellini and there were about 110 tortellini in it.
