This recipe is from Giada De Laurentiis' cookbook "Everyday Pasta." I wanted to share it here because it tastes so good!

Ingredients
  • Olive oil, for frying
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups Italian-style bread crumbs
  • 1 box store-bought bite-size cheese ravioli (24 ravioli)
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 to 2 cups marinara sauce (store bought is fine) for dipping

Directions
  1. Heat 2 inches of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees F.
  2. While the oil is heating, put the buttermilk and the bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls.
  3. Working in batches, dip the ravioli in the buttermilk to coat completely, allowing the excess buttermilk to drip back into the bowl.
  4. Dredge the ravioli in the bread crumbs.
  5. Place the ravioli on a baking sheet, while you coat the remaining ravioli.
  6. When the oil is hot, fry the ravioli in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  7. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried ravioli to paper towels to drain.
  8. Sprinkle the ravioli with Parmesan cheese and serve with a bowl of warmed marinara sauce for dipping.

This is a St. Louis, MO classic. There is a neighborhood where the Italian immigrants settled called The Hill. Apparently toasted rav's were invented by mistake at a restaurant there years & years ago when a rav was accidently dropped into oil. If you haven't had them before you're in for a treat!


I did this one night just for fun with frozen rav's that were boiled half way and then dried on a paper towel. I didn't do the dredge style and plan too soon. Looks wonderful. My kids love to dip everything. God Bless, Momof4hearts


I read that it originated in St. Louis. I think it is fascinating what recipes can happen from mere accidents!


I also used frozen ravioli's but I thawed them out for 30 minutes or so. I love them and so does my family.


That's funny, I just thought of putting a recipe for fried ravioli on the site not 10 minutes ago. Then I saw your butter bean spread recipes and then...voila! Thx!


I love fried ravs. But my butt does not....LOL! to good to pass up. Thanks for the recipe.

I work at a bank that's located in a grocery store, and one day the deli were serving these fried raviolis. I had never heard of it before, they were sooo good. I knew that if I came to this website, I'd find them. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!


This sounds like a great TV watching treat!
I watched Paula Deen make a slightly changed version of this today. I'm glad I searched before I posted it.


I loved the idea of this recipe, my three children proved me right, they loved this recipe. Well done. Thank you
