Fried Ravioli

Fried Ravioli is a popular Italian side dish that can be easily made with just a few ingredients. Cheese-filled ravioli is breaded and deep-fried until golden and crispy.

Serve this ravioli with marinara sauce or my Homemade Alfredo Sauce. It’s a delicious pasta recipe like my Mushroom Chicken Alfredo.

Cheese-stuffed pasta, breaded and deep-fried until crispy is one of the best and easiest appetizers you can make. The ravioli is crispy on the outside and gooey and cheesy on the inside. I serve it with marinara sauce. I am obsessed with this homemade version of the popular Italian appetizer. You only need a handful of ingredients and any ravioli you like to make it. I used cheese-stuffed large ravioli but small size works perfectly too.

I have finally created my favorite chicken wing recipe. It’s very easy to make and has minimal prep, which makes it my kind of food. The sweet and spicy sauce with a great sesame flavor is irresistible. You can use it as a marinade and then thicken with cornstarch to glaze the wings just before serving. Make sure to have extra napkins on hand because they are sticky. This is bound to be the best Asian appetizer you ever had!
