Ravioli

Marinara Sauce

Method

Ravioli Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading Station

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

  2. 2

    Bread the Ravioli

    Dip each ravioli first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Ravioli

    Carefully add the coated ravioli to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Marinara Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Sauté Garlic

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

  2. 6

    Cook the Sauce

    Add crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and sugar to the saucepan. Stir well and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  3. 7

    Add Fresh Basil

    Stir in fresh basil leaves just before serving.
