Quick and Easy Capellini Fritters image

These fritters, made with eggs and angel hair pasta, are quick and easy to prepare. Serve with a nice salad for a well rounded and delicious meal. These also make a nice snack and go well in packed lunches. (Kids love these). This recipe was inspired by a similar one i got off of a pasta box. I tweaked the original to come up with this.
