Time 25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups vegetable oil for frying
20 RITZ Crackers
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons milk
1 egg
1 (12 ounce) package large refrigerated cheese ravioli (about 24)
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 ½ cups warm marinara sauce for dipping
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • In a large frying pan, over medium heat, add the vegetable oil until it is about 2 inches deep. Heat to 325 degrees F.
  • While the oil is heating, place the RITZ Crackers in a food processor and pulse until the crackers are crushed into fine crumbs. Pour the crumbs into a shallow dish. Add the garlic powder, pepper, Italian seasoning and 2 tablespoons of the parmesan cheese. Stir until all spices are evenly distributed.
  • Whisk together the egg and milk in a bowl.
  • Dip each ravioli in the egg mixture, then into the RITZ cracker crumbs. Be sure each ravioli is evenly coated with cracker crumbs. Shake off any excess.
  • Once the oil is hot enough, add small batches of the RITZ cracker-coated ravioli into the oil. Fry for approximately 1 minute on each side. Watch closely so they do not burn; they cook quickly. When ravioli are golden brown on each side, remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Sprinkle the ravioli with remaining grated parmesan cheese and (optional) chopped parsley. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
