I made Steve one of his favorite things for his birthday dinner a few weeks back and wanted to share. He loves this toasted ravioli recipe I make. It’s simple to make using store bought ravioli. I served with a tomato, basil, mozzarella salad on the side. This recipe is semi-homemade so it comes together quickly! Make for a dinner or serve as a fun appetizer with a dipping sauce. Here is how to make toasted ravioli.
How to Make Toasted Ravioli
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- splash of half & half or milk
- salt & pepper
- 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- flat leaf parsley I just use parsley flakes for some green
- 1 bag ravioli of choice
- extra virgin olive oil
- marinara or favorite dipping sauce
Instructions
- Beat eggs and milk together and season with S & P in a low dish.
- Combine bread crumbs with cheese and parsley in a separate low dish.
- Coat pasta in egg mix and then in bread crumb mix.
- Heat oil over medium heat and toast ravioli on both sides (3-4 minutes on each side).
- After toasting, place on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Notes
Use whichever kind of breadcrumbs you like. If using frozen ravioli, make sure to set them out to thaw for a bit before making. We like cheese, but you could certainly use whichever kind of ravioli you like. I’ve never made homemade pasta, I’m a semi-homemade recipe kind of gal!
These aren’t perfectly perfect and that’s okay! This is easy enough to serve as a main meal or grab and go as an appetizer and finger food. The salad I served along side this ravioli is simply fresh basil, grape tomatoes (sliced in half), fresh mozzarella balls, balsamic vinegar, and a splash of extra virgin olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. These ravioli would make great little appetizers and they definitely make for a quick, easy, and tasty dinner! XO
