Ingredients

1 1/2 cups vegetable oil (297 grams)
1/2 cup all purpose flour (60 grams)
1 cup buttermilk or homemade buttermilk (227 grams)
2 cups Italian breadcrumbs (224 grams)
24 cheese ravioli (found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store)
finely grated Parmesan cheese for serving
marinara sauce for serving
fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Heat until the oil reaches 325 degrees Fahrenheit. I find it really helpful to use an instant read thermometer to ensure the temperature is correct.
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
While the oil is coming to temperature, place the flour on a plate and the buttermilk and breadcrumbs in 2 separate and shallow dishes.
1/2 cup all purpose flour, 1 cup buttermilk, 2 cups Italian breadcrumbs
Toss the ravioli lightly in the flour. Then dip them in buttermilk. Finally, coat them in the breadcrumbs.
24 cheese ravioli
Working in batches, cook the ravioli in the hot oil, turning them halfway through, for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Be sure not to overcrowd your oil, adding only 7 ravioli to the pan at once. You can read more about that here. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.
Sprinkle the ravioli with finely grated Parmesan cheese and parsley and serve with marinara sauce.
