1
9 ounce package refrigerated ravioli (any flavor)
-
1
cup seasoned fine dry bread crumbs
-
1/4
cup whole milk, half-and-half, or light cream
-
1
egg, slightly beaten
-
Cooking oil for deep-fat frying
-
6
cups torn mixed salad greens
-
1
cup halved or quartered cherry tomatoes
-
1/4
cup torn fresh basil
-
1/4
cup bottled balsamic vinaigrette or Italian vinaigrette
-
Finely shredded Parmesan cheese
1. In a large saucepan cook the ravioli in lightly salted boiling water for 3 minutes; drain well. Place the bread crumbs in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish stir together the milk and egg until combined. Dip ravioli first into egg mixture, then toss in bread crumb mixture to coat. Place on a tray; cover and chill while oil heats.
2. Heat the oil in an electric deep-fryer according to manufacturers directions. Fry the ravioli, half at a time, about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper toweling. Keep warm in a 300 degrees degree F oven while preparing salad.
3. For the salad, in a large bowl toss the greens with the tomatoes and basil; toss with the vinaigrette. Divide among 4 serving plates. Top with the ravioli. If desired, pass additional vinaigrette to drizzle over salads. Top with Parmesan cheese. Makes 4 servings.
- Variation Conventional Method:Prepare ravioli as above in Step 1. For frying, use a heavy 3-quart saucepan filled with about 2 inches of cooking oil. Attach a deep-fat frying thermometer to the side of the pan and heat the oil over medium heat to 365 degrees F. Carefully add the ravioli to the oil, 4 or 5 at a time (do not add too many at once or the oil temperature will drop too much). Fry for 2 minutes or until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon to drain on paper toweling. Keep warm as directed above. Continue with Step 3 and serve as directed above.

Like the texture, not a whole lot of flavor from the ravioli. But with dressing it was yummy.
