Instructions
- For the pasta waffle: Preheat a waffle iron to medium heat.
- Mix eggs, milk, pecorino, salt, black pepper and angel hair pasta in a medium bowl.
- Ladle into waffle iron (this will fit neatly in two 7-inch Belgian waffle compartments) and cook until brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
- For the tomato sauce: Blend tomatoes, tomato paste, olive oil and salt in a bowl.
- For the batter: Beat the egg whites in a large bowl until slightly foamy, then combine the milk with the whites, whisking constantly. Add lemon juice.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together slightly beaten egg yolks and butter until smooth. Whisk into the milk mixture.
- Whisk together the flour, salt, sugar and baking soda in a large bowl, then add in thirds to the milk mixture. Adjust consistency with milk as needed to make a thick batter.
- For the chicken tenders: Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 325 degrees F.
- Dunk the chicken pieces in batter.
- Stir together the breadcrumbs, paprika, salt, cayenne, black pepper and garlic powder in a bowl. Remove the chicken from the batter and coat in the spice mixture.
- Fry the tenders until golden brown, about 6 minutes.
- Heat the cooked tenders on a hot griddle and top with mozzarella, then melt under a lid.
- Spread sauce on the pasta waffles, then top each with some chicken and mozzarella.
Reviews
Watched the video and was like I have to try this asap. Definitely an intermediate level recipe. I loved the waffles and felt like you can use any sauce and meat of your choice, like the previous review did just to hasten the overall cooking time. All in all it came out delicious and is instagram worthy. Make sure to have the right cheeses though. They were what made the recipe so good.
It was so good I used fried chicken tenders from risen canes store bought pasta sauce and regular pasta.its good for companie.
Made half a recipe and it was delicious.
Loved the crispy waffle!
