    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 the small size works perfectly too.

    Ingredients needed:

    • ravioli (I used five cheese, large ravioli)
    • flour
    • eggs
    • breadcrumbs (I used Italian style)
    • vegetable oil, for frying

    Instructions:

    • Start by setting up a breading station: beaten egg in one bowl, flour in another bowl, and breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
    • Dip each ravioli in flour first, then egg, and then breadcrumbs. Set on a plate.
    • Heat up oil in a pot. When it reaches 370 degrees F, it's ready for frying.
    • Carefully place a few kinds of ravioli at a time in the oil. Fry 2 minutes per side OR until golden brown.
    • Remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
    • Serve with marinara sauce.

    Do I have to boil the ravioli before frying?

    No, there is no need to boil the pasta. It will be difficult to fry since it will be filled with moisture. Believe it or not, the ravioli will cook during frying.

    Can I make these in an air fryer?

    Absolutely! Once breaded, place ravioli in air fryer basket or wire rack and spray with olive oil cooking spray. Air Fry at 400 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes.

    What to serve it with?

    I serve it with marinara sauce. You can also mix crushed tomatoes with Italian seasoning, minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese. You can also use them in place of croutons on an Italian salad.

      The yummiest appetizer. Dipping the ravioli in the marinara added the perfect amount of sauce!
