Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, 5-7 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook until the color darkens, 3-5 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, garlic, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.
Carefully pour the sauce into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the sauce back into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the fresh basil.
In a large bowl, mix together the Monterey Jack, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
Arrange the wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Top each wrapper with ½ teaspoon of the cheese mixture, 1 teaspoon sauce, ½ teaspoon pepperoni, and another ½ teaspoon cheese.
Brush the edges of the wonton wrappers with water. Fold two opposite corners of each wrapper together over the filling, then fold the other two corners over to meet in the center, sealing tightly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C).
Carefully add the pizza rolls to the hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes per side, until deep golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool slightly.
Serve with the remaining sauce for dipping.
Enjoy!
