Description

Toasted ravioli traces its roots to St. Louis. This breaded and fried treat is sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and served with marinara sauce for dipping.

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) jar marinara sauce
1 large egg
2 tablespoons whole milk
3/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 (25 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli, thawed
3 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Heat marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling; reduce the heat to low and simmer until needed.
3 Meanwhile, whisk egg and milk together in a small bowl. Whisk bread crumbs and salt together in a second small bowl.
4 Dip each ravioli in milk mixture, then in bread crumbs to coat.
5 Heat 2 inches oil in a large, heavy pan until a small amount of breading sizzles and turns brown. Fry ravioli, a few at a time, until golden, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels.
6 Sprinkle warm ravioli with Parmesan and serve immediately with hot marinara sauce on the side.
