Instructions

• Crispy Fried Cheese Ravioli

  1. Preheat a large frying pan over medium heat with enough olive oil to reach a depth of 2 inches.
  2. Heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325°F (163°C).
  3. Prepare two separate shallow bowls, one with buttermilk and the other with Italian style breadcrumbs.
  4. Working in batches, coat each cheese ravioli completely in buttermilk, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl.
  5. Dredge the buttermilk-coated ravioli in breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  6. Place the breaded ravioli on a baking sheet and continue until all ravioli are coated.
  7. Once the oil is hot, fry the ravioli in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, approximately 3 minutes.
  8. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried ravioli to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Sprinkle the crispy fried cheese ravioli with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve alongside a bowl of warmed marinara sauce for dipping.
