St. Louis Ravioli Dip image

That yummy goodness that's tucked into traditional cheese ravioli? That's exactly what this saucy, cheesy dip is, thanks to a mix of ricotta, white Cheddar and Swiss cheeses, along with McCormick® Thick & Zesty Spaghetti Sauce Mix. We're dipping breadsticks, garlic bread and our own version of breaded, fried ravioli into this crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Roasted Ravioli Dip
1 package McCormick® Thick & Zesty Spaghetti Sauce Mix
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1/2 cup shredded white Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Basil Leaves
Fried Ravioli Dippers
2 tablespoons milk

3/4 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Perfect Pinch® Italian Seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. For the Ravioli Dip, prepare spaghetti sauce as directed on package. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.
  • Mix cream cheese, egg and shredded cheeses in medium bowl until well blended. Spread 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture on bottom of 9-inch round cake pan sprayed with no stick cooking spray. Spread 1/2 of the spaghetti sauce over cream cheese mixture. Repeat layers. Drop tablespoonfuls of ricotta cheese on top of final sauce layer.
  • Bake 20 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with basil.
  • Meanwhile for the Ravioli Dippers, mix milk and egg in small bowl. Mix bread crumbs and Seasoning on a large plate. Dip ravioli into egg mixture and then coat with bread crumb mixture. Discard any remaining egg and bread crumb mixtures.
  • Pour 2 inches of oil in large skillet. Heat on medium heat. Fry ravioli in batches, about 1 minute per side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve ravioli dippers with Roasted Ravioli Dip.
