Photo: Fried Ravioli Recipe
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 tried fried ravioli for the first time at Olive Garden, and immediately fell in love. I went straight home and searched for a recipe to make it at home. This is it. I mean, you really can't go wrong frying something in oil, can you? It's so simple, and you can change it up by making it with beef ravioli (which my husband loves or using panko bread crumbs. And, it works very well with homemade ravioli, like mushroom or seafood varieties. Thanks Giada!

First time making these and I am so impressed!! They turned out great. However, a ton of the breadcrumbs fell off of the first couple I put into the oil. So, i double-breaded the rest. (buttermilk, crumbs, buttermilk, crumbs So good!!

The taste was sooo good, the only thing I can complain about is that when I fried them the bread crumbs were falling off into the oil. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, it's not impossible for that to happen :
