Instructions
For frying the ravioli | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Heat enough olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat to reach a depth of 2 inches, until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325°F (163°C). |
| 2. | Prepare two separate shallow bowls, one with buttermilk and the other with Italian seasoned breadcrumbs. |
| 3. | Working in batches, coat each ravioli thoroughly in buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. |
| 4. | Dredge the buttermilk-coated ravioli in the breadcrumbs, then place them on a baking sheet, repeating with the remaining ravioli. |
| 5. | Once the oil is hot, fry the ravioli in batches, turning occasionally, until they achieve a golden-brown crispiness, which should take around 3 minutes. |
| 6. | Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried ravioli to paper towels to drain off any excess oil. |
| 7. | Sprinkle the crispy fried ravioli with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve alongside a bowl of warmed marinara sauce for dipping. |
