Ingredients

  • 1 10-ounce bag refrigerated cheese ravioli
  • oil, for frying
  • 1 cup reduced-fat buttermilk (or regular buttermilk)
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups baby arugula, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook ravioli, according to package directions, to al dente.  Do not overcook.  Drain and allow to cool.

  2. Heat oil (about 1/2-inch deep) in skillet to about 350°.  Line a baking sheet or tray with several layers of paper toweling.

  3. Combine 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese with the bread crumbs.  Dredge each ravioli in buttermilk, then in the bread crumb mixture.  

  4. In several batches, fry the coated ravioli about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.  Remove to the prepared tray to capture any excess oil.

  5. Place on a serving dish lined with baby arugula and sprinkle with reserved grated parmesan cheese.  Serve with your choice of dipping sauce(s).
