Fried Ravioli

 Found the recipe, tried it, oh my! A permanent for us now. We made 4x the recipe and it fed 5 easily. Add a salad and it would be a great meal. We also added extra parmesan to the breading mix and afterward.

1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese ravioli
1 large egg
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1-1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1/2 cup canola oil
Additional shredded Parmesan cheese, optional
1 cup marinara sauce or meatless spaghetti sauce, warmed

Cook ravioli according to package directions; drain and pat dry. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat egg. In another shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and basil. Dip ravioli in egg, then in bread crumb mixture.
In a large skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium heat. Fry ravioli in batches for 30-60 seconds on each side or until golden brown and crispy; drain on paper towels. Halfway through frying, replace oil; wipe skillet with paper towels if necessary.
Sprinkle with additional cheese if desired. Serve with marinara sauce.
