Vegetarian Schnitzel with Spaghetti

Ingredients:

For the Vegetarian Schnitzel:

• 4 large vegetarian schnitzels (store-bought or homemade, such as those made from soy, seitan, or a similar product)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs (beaten)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Spaghetti:

• 12 oz spaghetti
• 2 cups marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh basil or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Spaghetti:
   • Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
   • In a separate saucepan, heat the marinara sauce until warmed through. Toss the cooked spaghetti in the sauce and keep warm.
2. Prepare the Schnitzel:
   • Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
   • Dredge each schnitzel in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
   • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the schnitzels for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
3. Serve:
   • Arrange the spaghetti on plates or a serving dish. Top with the crispy vegetarian schnitzels.
   • Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil or parsley if desired.
