WEEKLY RECIPE - JANUARY 29, 2010

JANUARY 29, 2010 -FRIED RAVIOLI ( 20 Minutes)

NOTE: Serve as an appetizer with you favorite marinara sauce or just
plain sprinkled with Parmesan cheese for one of the most popular
appetizers ever!

1/2 pound frozen beef or cheese ravioli
1 tablespoon salt
3 beaten eggs

2/3 cup plain bread crumbs
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup fresh curly parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 cup olive oil

1. Boil 4 quarts water and add the salt. Drop in the ravioli and
boil until the ravioli are "al dente" (tender, but not mushy). Drain
gently. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and add about half the ravioli
to the egg mixture.

2. In a shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs, cheese, garlic, parsley,
and salt and pepper. With a slotted spoon, lift the ravioli one at at
time out of the egg mixture and coat well in the bread crumbs.
Continue until all are breaded.

3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil until hot. Add several
coated ravioli to the hot olive oil and fry until golden brown on both
sides, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to paper towel to drain.

4. Transfer to a large platter with a bowl of marinara sauce in the
middle for dipping, or just sprinkle with cheese and serve warm.
Makes a large platter.
