Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
Lay won ton wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the ricotta mixture in the center of each wrapper.
Brush the edges of the won ton wrapper lightly with the beaten egg. Fold the wrapper into a triangle or shape of choice, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the won tons in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
To make the spicy tomato sauce, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add crushed red pepper flakes and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and water. Stir to combine.
Simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Serve crispy won tons warm with the spicy tomato dipping sauce on the side.
