While ravioli is a scrumptious and filling Italian classic, you can put a spin on it by toasting the ravioli to make for a scrumptious appetizer. Now, you too can enjoy this scrumptious treat, whether as a starter or main course. Here’s your guide to making toasted ravioli.

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup shredded parmesan
  • 10-ounce packet frozen ravioli
  • Ground black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 2/3 cup bread crumbs
  • Peanut or vegetable oil
  • 1 cup heated marinara sauce

Instructions:

  1. Place the egg and milk in a bowl and whisk until combined. In a separate bowl, place the bread crumbs with a few pinches of salt and pepper.
  2. Take out the ravioli and place each one on a pan. Coat each piece of ravioli in the egg mixture and then coat in bread crumbs, pressing hard to ensure that the mixture sticks.
  3. Warm up your Dutch oven, air fryer, or a large heavy pot to 350° F. Fry the ravioli until golden brown. In the air fryer, this process may take 5 to 7 minutes. If deep frying, this could take 3 minutes, so long as you remember to toast each side.
  4. Place the ravioli on a platter and sprinkle parmesan. Serve with the marinara.
