St. Louis Toasted Ravioli

The St. Louis style of preparing ravioli is unique and delicious. The ravioli is breaded, fried and served with marinara sauce and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons whole milk


• 1 egg


• 3/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs


• 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)


• 1/2 (25 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli, thawed


• 3 cups vegetable oil for frying


• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese


• 1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

Directions

1. Combine milk and egg in a small bowl. Place breadcrumbs and if desired, salt in a shallow bowl. Dip ravioli in milk mixture, and coat with breadcrumbs.


2. In a large saucepan, heat marinara sauce over medium heat until bubbling. Reduce the heat to simmer.


3. In a large heavy pan, pour oil to depth of 2 inches. Heat oil over medium heat until a small amount of breading sizzles and turns brown. Fry ravioli, a few at a time, 1 minute on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately with hot marinara sauce.
