Ingredients:

  • 9 ounces fresh cheese ravioli
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • canola oil , for frying
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce , for dipping
  • 1 tablespoon pecorino romano cheese , for topping
  • parsley , for topping, if desired

Directions:

  1. Whisk together egg whites and whole milk in a shallow dish or pie plate.
  2. Place bread crumbs, fine sea salt and ground black pepper in a separate shallow dish or pie plate.
  3. Before starting to bread your ravioli, prepare about 1/2 inch of canola oil in a large heavy bottom frying pan or cast iron skillet. Heat over medium-high heat.
  4. Toss individual ravioli pieces in egg white mixture then bread crumbs. Set aside on a plate until ready to fry. They will not be fully coated, this is okay.
  5. Working in batches, place ravioli in hot oil, frying until lightly browned on one side, approximately 2 minutes, then flipping and repeating on the other side.
  6. Using a slotted spoon, remove to a paper towel lined plate or a cooling rack so any excess oil can drain.
  7. Place on a serving plate, topping with pecorino romano cheese and serving with a side of warmed marinara sauce. You can also garnish with parsley, if desired.
