How to Make Toasted Ravioli!! - Fried Ravioli Recipe

Learn how to make this delicious St. Louis appetizer, toasted ravioli! Double breaded beef raviolis, deep fried and served with a simple marinara sauce. Super easy, quick and perfect for game day!
What you'll need:
24 frozen or fresh beef ravioli
1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp water
oil for frying
marinara sauce (see recipe below)
shredded parmesan cheese
Thaw your ravioli before starting if using frozen. There is no need to cook before hand. In separate pie plates or bowls, add bread crumbs in one and combine eggs and water in another. Bread your ravioli by first submerging in the egg and letting the excess drip off and then dredging in the breadcrumb. Shake off excess and set aside. When all raviolis have been breaded, repeat the process to bread again. Set aside to dry for 15-20 minutes before frying.
To fry the breaded ravioli, bring vegetable oil to 350*F in a heavy pan over medium-high heat. Be sure to use a thermometer to get to the proper temperature. Fry in small batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove to a paper towel to drain and then transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese and serve with marinara sauce.
For the marinara:
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
3/4 cup water
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a bubble over medium-high heat stirring constantly. Cook for 1-2 minutes and let cool slightly before using.
Makes 24 toasted ravioli. Enjoy!!

I absolutely love toasted ravioli These look pretty dang good. Proud to be a St. Louis original food.

[@LeaRahaelGirma]

I grew up not knowing that it was even relevant. Then, one day I heard someone say that it's a Saint Louis food. I immediately felt sympathy for those that didn't grow up having access to toasted ravioli.🥺 The yum-ness... Bless their hearts. 😢 For it's better to have eaten toasted ravioli and lost access to it, than to never had access to toasted ravioli at all.😩 ... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤷🏾‍♀️

[@ContentMadame]

Right?! St. Louis really has some incredible regional specialties that I miss terribly since moving away.

[@valcomm5]

Being that I'm from the St Louis area, Let me just say kudos. You did me proud. This is a fantastic appetizer. Yours look excellent!

[@BubbasGrub]

I grew up munching on these at the joint my mom was a cook at in Mt. Shasta. I love them and they bring back great memories

[@AZ-nb2ep]

I will try this in my new air fryer, thanks for the recipe. Moved from St. Louis to Atlanta about 32 years ago, some family was still there so visited every July 4th, but they just moved to Florida in February 2020. No more visits to St. Louie. But great memories.

Used this recipe and they are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

[@jabmolou]

Always got to get some when we are in St. Louis. Cunetto's has the best.

[@barbaraverdoorn9076]

Amother great idea! I made the marinara sauce & fried the breaded raviloi. Made some garlic bread & my husband loved it!

[@brittanycarr4549]

I used this recipe moments ago... and all I have to say is amazing 🥳😋thanks for the play by play ...

[@monmixer]

tip, use a wire rack instead of paper towels to drain the grease. Most of it will evaporate instead of the towel sucking it up and then the breading sometimes stick to the towel. I made these and they were great. I always boiled them first. No need to do that. thanks you for clarifying that for me.

[@Lee-Leee]

I'm trying this tomorrow and I'm excited

Another good video - nothing from my diet so I will reluctantly skip but I love how easy you make stuff and how careful you are to make sure we can see and understand.

[@jmoneymaker96]

These things are the bomb. I just buy the frozen ones premade and bake them. Good college snack for sure.

This is an AUTHENTIC St. Louis recipe. Great STL T-Ravs! Other videos are showing cheese ravioli, but that is NOT the real thing. In fact, cheese ravioli isn't even good on its own.

[@popparoc46]

Well, I think I want some of these, too! I want most of your creations, Jason! Thanks for sharing! - roc

Does this dunk and bread method work for baking them as well?

[@LeaRahaelGirma]

Thank you.

[@buglady58]

you make everything look easy. i love, love, love breaded mushrooms :-)

[@erianadenise3145]

[@sandrastreifel6452]

I will try that!

[@Diamondsareforever1973]

Yum Looks Delicious!! Can you substitute the eggs with something else i hate eggs?

[@LadyPyrien]

it's possible, but the eggs are a binder, they aid in keeping the breadcrumbs from falling apart and off the ravioli - my mom's fatal flaw in frying any thing.. nothing sticks.. - but to be totally honest, you shouldn't taste the egg at all and there's alway the fake eggs if you're allergic

[@travelingshoe694]

I was importing them from St. Louis, then my walmart carried them and stopped. so I am back to importing or learning how to DIY. Best appetizer..... Olive garden has them but very pricy.

[@BoneCrusherofOlde]

Thanks for sharing your videos CCJ! I always find myself wandering to your channel when I am getting hungry or looking for something to make over the weekend. Keep up the great work!

[@tonytone4332]

This might be a silly question but do you boil the raviolis first before coating and frying them?

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

I've had these a bunch But only cheese filled. Next time I will have to try the meat ones!

[@Gab3S0lan0]

If you have a wire rack, place thr fried ravioli on top of it over a cookie sheet. This will drain the oil more efficiently without a paper towel while making sure they don't get soggy

[@analizaarabit9649]

Could we change the bread crumbs with Parmesan?

[@thehomeplatespecial597]

great video!! do you have one for jalapeno poppers?

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

Two of them. One fried and one baked. You'll have to search my channel since YT won't let us do links anymore.

[@thehomeplatespecial597]

Crouton Crackerjacks thank you. I will have to get on a computer to do that since I cant do that from my android / you tube app. They seem to make it harder than it has to be by taking away our usability features.

[@jackiewilson7857]

Ok silly question but Im taking it that you did not pre cook/boil the raviolis first? Just thaw bread and fry?

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

Jackie Wilson Correct. Just thaw, bread and fry.

[@BarbaraEyre]

Not a silly question, Jackie. I was thinking the same thing while watching. =)

[@LexnJa0405]

+Barbara Eyre i made cheese ones i had to boil them first then i let them cool then i bread them?? im about to fry them i hope this works lol

[@amandawithlov3908]

When I made them I didn't have to pre-heat it. Then again my ravioli's weren't frozen....

[@poeticyy]

I work in Italian recipe. It's easier, faster, and cleaner to put your egg mixture in a small baking tray, and the bread crumbs in another baking tray. Put all the ravioli into the egg mixture at once and shake. Take a pancake flipper and put each ravioli into the bread crumb mixture at once and start shaking it. If you want to double bread crumb the ravioli, just repeat the process.

[@pratikhazari3701]

I prefer baking in the oven instead of frying in oil personally

[@nancywolf3786]

saw a video of a guy who rinsed off the canned ravioli and used them to make this

[@ImjustKelly73]

I've got to try these! I've seen them made before and they look so good! I want to fix the cheese kind and I'm guessing it may taste like a mozzarella cheese stick. TFS! :)

[@lovelyzay2848]

Do you ever add baking soda to sauce to cut the acid? Old trick that works

[@InTheEndOnlykindnessMatters]

You have such a nice voice .

[@creativeflow952]

Ok you can only find in the lou.... In texas now found them one time aldi

Do you have a recipe for raviolis? If not, you should make one ;)

+Chuckderp I do but I've never done a video on them. In due time! ;-)

You guys are getting some mighty cold weather right now. what about some itallian slow baked beans with osso bucco. It is similar to the recipe I sent Richard blains. Comfort food :)

[@RichardSmith-fu4zo]

How long to defrost?

[@tiearascott972]

I just bought some of the frozen ones wish i saw this first super easy im not gonna buy those $6 frozen ones again

[@cozzyk]

No white sno**y parts lol. I always have lobster claw hand lol because I always keep one clean.

[@jenniferroth7824]

Okay I’m going to pretend like I’ve been using pie plates for breading stuff like all the smart people… 😂😂😊😊

[@MarysPlace]

add grated parm cheese to the breading.

[@monmixer]

it helps bond the breading for sure. It will burn a little though but I like it like that.
