Toasted Ravioli
Toasted ravioli is a delightful twist on the classic dish that brings together the crunchy texture of golden breadcrumbs and the savory goodness of beef-filled pasta.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Beef Ravioli Fresh or frozen
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Italian Bread Crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- Vegetable Oil For frying
- Parmesan Cheese Freshly grated, for garnish
- Marinara Sauce For dipping
Instructions
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the ravioli according to the package instructions, generally around 4-5 minutes until they float to the surface. Drain and place on a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
- Set up your breading station with three bowls: one with buttermilk, one with whisked eggs, and one with a mixture of Italian bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper.
- Dip each ravioli into the buttermilk, then the egg mixture, and finally coat with the bread crumb mixture. Place them back on the baking sheet.
- In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded ravioli in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top while still hot and serve immediately with marinara sauce for dipping.
