Crispy Fried Ravioli
Like Olive Garden's toasted ravioli, but better! This crispy fried ravioli is easy to make, yet impressive. Perfect for a party, or the family dinner table!
Ingredients
- 30 frozen beef and cheese ravioli thawed
- 1 1/2 cups Italian Panko breadcrumbs (or add some garlic powder Italian seasoning and dried parsley to plain panko breadcrumbs)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Canola oil for frying
- 1 jar marina sauce warmed, for dipping
Instructions
- Thaw raviolis.
- Line a baking sheet with foil or waxed paper and set aside.
- Whisk eggs and milk together in a shallow bowl.
- Add breadcrumbs to another shallow bowl.
- Set up your breading station so you're working towards the baking sheet (egg wash, breadcrumbs, baking sheet).
- Add enough oil to your skillet or pan to be about 2- 2.5 inches deep. Heat over medium heat until the oil is hot enough. Test by tossing a few breadcrumbs in the oil... if they sizzle and bubble, the oil is ready.
- Dip the ravioli in the egg wash, coat in the breadcrumbs, then place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining raviolis.
- Fry several raviolis (remember to work in batches), for about 2 minutes per side.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
- Before serving, warm the marinara sauce and sprinkle raviolis with grated Parmesan and minced parsley or basil.

** Recipe can be easily adapted to make larger quantities for a party.
