Ingredients

  • 1 20 oz package refrigerated cheese ravioli (if using frozen, thaw)
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk or whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • vegetable oil for frying (depending on the pot, around 3 inches deep)
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2-3 Tbsp chopped fresh Italian parsley for garnishing
  • 2 cups warm marinara sauce for serving

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
  • In one shallow bowl, whisk together buttermilk and eggs until fully combined. Place Italian breadcrumbs in a second shallow bowl.
  • Dip each ravioli into buttermilk-egg wash letting excess drip off. Next, coat with breadcrumbs pressing firmly onto all sides. Place onto prepared pan in a single layer.
  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven or similar large pot fitted with a thermometer to 350°F.
  • Fry ravioli in batches, carefully lowering into the oil. Cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined platter. Keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining raviolis.
  • Serve immediately garnished with Parmesan cheese, parsley and warm marinara sauce for dipping.
