Hey readers of Kitty's blog, Kevin here! This is a fried ravioli recipe I found while trying to come up with an italian appetizer for a dinner I was giving to a group of teenagers. I wanted more than just salad and bread so I looked online at some appetizer ideas. I found this recipe that is really easy, and doesn't take a whole lot of ingredients.

All you need is:
1 Bag of frozen cheese raviolis (frozen)
1 Large egg
1/3 Cup of whole milk
1/2 Cup of breadcrumbs
1/2 Teaspoon of oregano
1/2 Teaspoon of basil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (optional)
Shredded parmesan cheese
1 Jar of marinara sauce

Step 1:
Heat 1 inch of oil in a pot or saucepan until oil is 350 degrees. Whisk together the egg and milk in one bowl. In a second bowl mix together breadcrumbs, oregano, basil, and salt.

Step 2:
Take a ravioli (thawed) and dip it in the egg/milk mixture and let extra run off. After, run the ravioli through the breadcrumbs until fully coated. Place the ravioli on a tray or plate. Repeat this step until all the raviolis are covered.

Step 3:
With a slotted spoon or a fork, dip the breaded raviolis in the oil in batches of 3 or 4 until golden brown. Place the fried ravioli on another plate or tray that is covered with paper towel.

Step 4:
Heat marinara sauce in a small saucepan and serve in small dipping bowls.

Step 5:
Once dried, move the raviolis onto a serving dish. At this point you can sprinkle some parmesan cheese on the top. The raviolis are now ready to serve!

This is a really easy recipe that you can make at home. However, it may create a mess to clean up afterwards but it is well worth it. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
