Ingredients

• 1 package (12 oz) of store-bought or homemade ravioli
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-style)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• Vegetable oil for frying

How to Make Crispy Ravioli with Marinara Sauce

1. Begin by setting up a breading station. In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Coat each ravioli first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, coat the ravioli in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded ravioli in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the crispy ravioli to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. In a small saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over low heat until warmed through.
7. Serve the crispy ravioli hot with the marinara sauce on the side for dipping, and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying; a small piece of bread should sizzle when added.
• Do not overcrowd the skillet, as this will lower the oil temperature and affect crispiness.
• Experiment with different fillings for your ravioli, such as cheese, spinach, or meat.

Easy Variations

• For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
• Swap marinara for pesto or a creamy Alfredo sauce for dipping.
• Use whole wheat or gluten-free ravioli to accommodate dietary needs.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Garlic bread for a hearty side.
• Roasted vegetables for a colorful addition.
• A glass of red wine to complement the flavors.
