Crispy Provolone w/ Spicy Vodka Sauce

I first had crispy provolone at this restaurant in Venice, Ca called OSPI and i was blown away by how good it was. I just knew i had to recreate it at home. Everyhing about this is so GOOD. It's so easy to make, and i think it may be better than mozzarella sticks.

4. Get 2 slices of provolone cheese and press the edges together so they stick, and repeat process.
