Italian Eggrolls are filled with Italian sausage and shredded vegetables before being fried crisp and golden brown.

These eggrolls are a fun and unexpected twist on pasta night. This recipe was a spur of the moment dinner years ago that turned out deliciously.

Italian Eggrolls

I was looking through the refrigerator and paused at a package of spring roll wrappers. That was when I discovered that the wrappers are technically a form of pasta.

Did you know that? One thought led to another and I decided to throw together an Italian Eggroll combination.

How To Make Italian Eggrolls

The kids, my husband, and I devoured these eggrolls the first time I made them. My youngest son ate three of them!

(This photo still makes me grin. I can hardly believe it’s been over seven years since my baby was that small!)

I serve these Italian Eggrolls with 5 Minute Marinara Sauce on the side for dipping and they disappear FAST every time we make them.

Kitchen Tip: I use this pan, these tongs, and this tray to make this recipe.

Filling for Italian Eggrolls

Italian Eggrolls Recipe

  1. In a large skillet, cook and crumble the sausage. Add the cabbage and carrots to the pan and continue to cook over medium heat. Season to taste with garlic, salt, and pepper. When the vegetables are crisp-tender, remove from the heat.
  2. Remove spring roll wrapper from the package. Take each wrapper individually and place on a plate. Spoon the cabbage mixture into the center of each wrapper. Pull the bottom corner upwards and then tuck the sides into the middle. Roll as tightly as possible. Dip your finger into the water and then the egg to seal the edges of the roll. When finished wrapping the rolls, set aside.
  3. Heat the coconut oil to 350 degrees in a small heavy saucepan. Medium heat brought the oil to the right temperature for me. Using kitchen tongs to help turn the rolls, pan fry the rolls in the hot oil for 10-20 seconds on each side. They should be lightly browned. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Serve hot by themselves or with marinara dipping sauce.

    My son is marrying a gal whos part Fillipino and they make Lumpia. Its AMAZING. First off if you can get to an asian market they use wrappers called Menlo wrappers, and their version is just hamburger with some carrots and onion. Nothing big but so delicious with sweet chili sauce. I bake mine but most deep-fry them. I cant wait to try your version it sounds so delicious

    If I wanted to baker them instead what would be the best temperature and for how long to get the crispness?

    • Mary says

      I’ve made this with both types of wrappers. If I recall correctly those were spring roll wrappers in the video, but again, it will work either way.
