Ingredients

Olive oil, for frying
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups Italian-style bread crumbs
1 box store-bought cheese ravioli (about 24 ravioli)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 jar store bought marinara sauce, heated, for dipping

Directions

Pour enough olive oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees F.

While the oil is heating, put the buttermilk and the bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Working in batches, dip ravioli in buttermilk to coat completely. Allow the excess buttermilk to drip back into the bowl. Dredge ravioli in the bread crumbs. Place the ravioli on a baking sheet, and continue with the remaining ravioli.

When the oil is hot, fry the ravioli in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried ravioli to paper towels to drain.

Sprinkle the fried ravioli with Parmesan and serve with a bowl of warmed marinara sauce for dipping.

I used frozen ravioli which I thawed out on the counter for about 45 minutes. Cooked these in my mini deep fryer 3 at a time... and had no problems at all. Thank you for an easy and quick appetizer. Read more

I made these tonight for an Italian appetizer. They are fabulous, and so easy to make! I might try them with meat ravioli... next time or really switch it up and make my own ravioli. I will definitely be using this recipe again! You never do me wrong, Giada! Wonderful!Read more

Another big hit!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Just made these as Thanksgiving appetizers and everyone loved them. I did not have Italian bread crumbs so I used plain and... mixed in a tablespoon of Italian seasoning. I also used the fry daddy and cooked about 8 at a time (mine were the mini sized). They do cook really fast, so I would recommend getting most of them coated before starting to fry them. This also gives more time for the coating to stick.Read more
