Lasagna Frita, also known as Fried Lasagna, is a delicious twist to classic lasagna that originated in Italian-American cuisine. Similar to traditional lasagna, it is made with lasagna noodles, meat sauce, and cheese, but it is then rolled up, coated in a cheesy mixture, and deep-fried to crispy perfection. It is a fun spin on traditional lasagna that is perfect for parties and game nights. Serve it with some extra marinara sauce for dipping and watch it disappear quickly.

Instructions

1.	Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 10-12 minutes until tender.
2.	Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water, pat dry with a paper towel.
3.	In a medium bowl, combine the milk, parmesan cheese, feta cheese, white pepper, and butter.
4.	Spread a tablespoon of marinara sauce on each noodle, followed by a tablespoon of alfredo sauce.
5.	Roll up each noodle lengthwise to form a cylinder shape.
6.	Dip each noodle cylinder in the cheese mixture until coated.
7.	Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
8.	Fry the noodle cylinders for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
9.	Serve hot with extra marinara sauce on top.
