Ravioli

Marinara Sauce

Method

Ravioli Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Ravioli

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese ravioli and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Coat the Ravioli

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dip each cooked ravioli into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly. Place the coated ravioli in the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary.

  4. 4

    Toast the Ravioli

    Cook the ravioli for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Marinara Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Sauté Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Pour in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir to combine.

  3. 7

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
