Grandma’s recipe for schnitzel with pasta and tomato sauce

Step 3: Prepare the Schnitzel

1. Pound the meat slices gently with a meat mallet until about 1/4 inch thick.
2. Season with salt and pepper (and any optional spices).
3. Set up a breading station: flour on one plate, beaten eggs in a bowl, breadcrumbs on another plate.
4. Dredge each slice of meat in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs firmly so they stick well.
5. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry schnitzels for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Drain on paper towels.

🍽️ Serving Suggestion

Plate a generous portion of pasta topped with tomato sauce beside a crispy schnitzel. Garnish with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired. For an extra grandma-style touch, serve with a slice of crusty bread to mop up every last bit of sauce.
