Copycat Olive Garden Fried Ravioli
Meat filled ravioli coated in an Italian seasoned bread crumb mixture, and fried to perfection. Serve them as an appetizer or eat alongside an Italian pasta dish.
Servings: 20 Ravioli
Ingredients
- 20 Meat filled Ravioli thawed
- 3/4 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup plain bread crumbs
- 1/2 tsp Oregano
- 1 tsp Basil
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- vegetable oil for frying
- grated parmesan for garnish optional
- marinara sauce or ranch for dipping
Instructions
- Put flour in a small bowl, beat eggs and water in a second bowl, and mix bread crumbs with oregano, basil, and garlic salt in a third bowl.
- Fill frying pan with vegetable oil (about 1/2 inch deep) and heat to 350 degrees.
- While oil is heating, dip each ravioli into the flour, then into egg wash, and finally in the bread crumb mixture. Place breaded ravioli onto a plate to rest for a few minutes.
- Carefully place ravioli into oil and fry until golden. This should only take a couple of minutes. They cook very quickly. Try not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches.
- Once finished cooking, place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- Sprinkle with grated parmesan and serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
Notes
Try substituting the cheese filled ravioli in place of the meat filled ravioli.
Use a fork in each bowl to make coating the ravioli easier and less messy.
