Description

Fried Ravioli is a crispy, savory delight featuring a crunchy exterior and creamy cheese filling. Perfect for gatherings or cozy nights at home!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 12 oz frozen cheese ravioli
  • Oil for frying (canola or vegetable)
  • 1 cup marinara sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Stations: Set up three bowls—one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
  2. Coat the Ravioli: Dip each ravioli in flour, shaking off excess. Next, dunk it in the egg mixture and then coat it generously in breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat Up That Oil: In a large pot or deep skillet, heat about two inches of oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). Test with a small piece of bread; it should bubble and sizzle.
  4. Fry Away: Carefully place several coated raviolis into the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to transfer fried ravioli onto paper towels to absorb excess oil while keeping them warm.
  6. Serve and Enjoy!: Plate alongside marinara sauce for dipping.
