Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4 to 6 as an hors d'oeuvre

Ingredients

2 large eggs
1/2 cup canned evaporated milk
1 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
1 1/2 cups good-quality marinara sauce
about 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
24 fresh bite-size ravioli, thawed if frozen
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a shallow bowl beat together eggs and evaporated milk. Put bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. In a small saucepan heat sauce over moderate heat until hot and keep warm, covered.

    Step 2

    In a small heavy kettle (about 5 quarts) heat 1 inch oil over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 350°F. While oil is heating, dip ravioli in egg to coat, letting excess drip off, and dredge in bread crumbs, knocking off excess. Arrange ravioli as coated on a tray.

    Step 3

    With a slotted spoon gently lower 4 ravioli into oil and fry, turning them occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. With slotted spoon transfer ravioli as fried to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 350°F. before frying remaining ravioli in same manner.

    Step 4

    Transfer hot ravioli to a platter and sprinkle with Parmesan.

    Step 5

    Serve ravioli with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
