Drescription

Looking for a conversation-worthy appetizer for your next party? Try toasted ravioli, a famous St. Louis fried treat that's served with warm marinara.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated or frozen beef ravioli, thawed
  • oil for deep-fat frying
  • optional: fresh minced basil and additional shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce

Directions

  1. In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and basil. Place flour and eggs in separate shallow bowls. Dip ravioli in flour to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in egg, then in crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
  2. In a deep cast-iron or electric skillet, heat 1/2 in. of oil to 375°. Fry ravioli, a few at a time, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. If desired, immediately sprinkle with basil and cheese. Serve warm with marinara sauce.
