Rachel's Fried Ravioli

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 24 ravioli, squares (about 48 if using mini raviolis)
• olive oil (for frying)
• 1 cup milk
• 5 tablespoons whole wheat flour (you can use all-purpose flour if you don't have this on hand, batter should be runny but able to sti)
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon basil
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs, bread flakes (normal breadcrumbs will work too)
• 2 teaspoons italian seasoning

Recipe

• 1 coat the raviolis in batter, drip off the excess, then coat in the breading.
• 2 fry in the olive oil (i only needed a little bit to do a whole batch), about 2-3 minutes on each side, blot on paper towels.
• 3 shake some parmesan cheese or queso cotija on them.
• 4 serve with salsa and/or marinara sauce for dipping.
• 5 note: when frying, the raviolis may show thermal expansion if there's more air than cheese in there if you used storebought. this is totally normal; just fry it as usual though it may be harder to shallow fry in a pan like how i do. but don't pop it because the cheese will get everywhere and make a total mess.
