Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 8 oz. seasoned italian breadcrumbs
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 20 oz. meat ravioli (fresh or frozen)
  • vegetable oil , for frying
  • Parmesan Cheese , freshly grated
  • Spicy marinara sauce , for dipping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If the ravioli are not frozen, place them in the freezer for 1 hour before preparing the recipe.
  2. In a bowl, combine milk and eggs and whisk until smooth.
  3. Place the breadcrumbs, salt and 2 tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan cheese in a large freezer bag, close it and shake it to mix well.
  4. Dip the frozen ravioli in the milk/egg mixture, then add them to the bag containing the breadcrumbs.
  5. Shake well to coat the ravioli with the breadcrumbs.
  6. In a heavy-bottomed skillet, pour a large amount of vegetable oil.
  7. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches a temperature of 340 F (170°C), a temperature that must be maintained until the end of frying.
  8. Fry the ravioli, just a few at a time, about 1 minute on each side, until golden brown.
  9. Remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them in a large dish lined with paper towel.
  10. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan (to taste) and serve hot, dipped in marinara sauce.
Notes
  1. - In the absence of Italian breadcrumbs, add to a classic breadcrumb: 1 teaspoon of Italian spice blend, ½ teaspoon of onion powder and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  2. - These ravioli can also be baked. To do this, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray. Add prepared, breaded ravioli and spray all ravioli with cooking spray. Bake at 390 F (200°C) for 10 to 20 minutes or until toasted.
