Ravioli

Marinara Sauce

Method

Preparing the Ravioli

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Ravioli

    Take each ravioli, dredge it in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Chill the Breaded Ravioli

    Place the breaded ravioli on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the breading adhere.

Frying the Ravioli

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Ravioli

    Carefully add the chilled, breaded ravioli to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

  3. 6

    Drain the Ravioli

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried ravioli and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Making the Marinara Sauce

  1. 7

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 8

    Simmer the Sauce

    Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, sugar, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the hot fried ravioli on a platter alongside the marinara sauce for dipping.
