  1. Combine pine nuts, almonds, parmesan cheese, brown sugar, cayenne pepper & nutmeg in a food processor & process until all is well ground. Pour into a shallow bowl.

  2. Pour enough vegetable oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 to 3 inches. Heat until oil is 325° F. While oil is heating, beat eggs in a bowl & set aside.

  3. Working in batches, dip tortellini in egg. Allow excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Dredge tortellini in the nut crumb mix. Place dredged tortellini on a large sheet pan & continue until all are dredged. When the oil is hot, fry tortellini in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown on both sides (about 3 minutes). Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried tortellini to a paper towel lined sheet pan. Sprinkle with garlic salt.

  4. For the dip combine pesto sauce with sour cream & place in serving bowl.

  5. To serve place tortellini on a serving platter along with the pesto dip.
