Ingredients
  

For the Ravioli:

  • 1 9 oz package refrigerated or frozen cheese ravioli (thawed if frozen)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • Neutral oil for frying vegetable or canola

For the Pizza Sauce:

  • 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a third.
  • Dip each ravioli in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture. Press to coat well.
  • Heat 1/2 inch oil in a skillet over medium heat. When hot, fry ravioli in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  • For the sauce: In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Serve ravioli hot with warm pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Use panko for extra crunch.
  • Air fry instead of pan-frying for a lighter version (400°F for 8 minutes).
  • Try different fillings: spinach-ricotta or mushroom ravioli work well.
  • Double the batch and freeze extras after breading for easy future meals.
