Toasted Ravioli
Description
This recipe begins by freezing refrigerated ravioli if not already frozen to help the coating adhere better during frying. Egg and milk are whisked together to form a dipping wash, then each ravioli is coated with an Italian seasoned breadcrumb mixture that includes salt and grated Parmesan. Frying in vegetable oil heated to the correct temperature yields crispy, golden pieces; cooking a few at a time prevents the oil temperature from dropping too much.
The final dish balances crunchy breadcrumbs with tender pasta and savory beef or cheese filling. A sprinkle of fresh Parmesan cheese brightens the fried exterior. Serving with warm marinara sauce introduces acidity and moisture, enhancing flavor and texture.
Techniques include options for baking or air frying as alternatives to deep frying, with guidance on time and temperature. For storage, toasted ravioli can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to preserve crunchiness. Seasoned breadcrumbs can be adapted using plain crumbs with added Italian herbs and garlic powder if needed.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 egg
- 1 cup breadcrumbs Italian seasoned
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 20 ounce ravioli beef or cheese ravioli, package, refrigerated or frozen
- 3-4 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- marinara sauce for dipping, warm
Instructions
- If the ravioli are not frozen, freeze for 1 hour before preparing recipe.
- Combine milk and eggs in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Place breadcrumbs, salt and parmesan cheese in a large ziplock bag and shake to combine.
- Dip frozen raviolis in egg mixture, then add to bag with breadcrumbs. Shake to coat.
- In a heavy pot pour oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat over medium heat until oil is hot. Test it by adding a small sprinkle of bread crumbs to the oil and if they sizzle and turn golden, its ready.
- Fry raviolis, only a few at a time, for about 1 minute on each side, until golden. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with fresh grated parmesan cheese and serve warm, dipped in marinara sauce.
Notes
- Ground beef filled ravioli are traditional, but any flavor is suitable for toasting.
- If Italian seasoned breadcrumbs are unavailable, mix plain breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- Air fryer and baking methods offer alternatives to deep frying, with specific instructions on temperature and timing.
- Reheat toasted ravioli in the oven or air fryer to preserve crispness.
