Crispy Pan Fried Ravioli

Print Recipe

This Crispy Pan Fried Ravioli recipe transforms store-bought ravioli into a golden, crunchy appetizer or snack, perfect for dipping in marinara sauce.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 (20 oz) package of refrigerated ravioli (cheese or meat filled)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Marinara sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli for 2-3 minutes until they float to the top. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Prepare a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Coat each ravioli in flour, then dip in egg, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Set aside on a plate.
  4. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot.
  5. Fry the ravioli in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  6. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding Italian seasoning to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • You can also bake the breaded ravioli at 400°F for 15-20 minutes for a lighter version.
  • Use fresh or frozen ravioli—just thaw frozen ones before using.
