FRIED RAVIOLI
with Creamy Three Cheese Sauce



INGREDIENTS
- 3/4 cup lowfat buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups Italian style bread crumbs
- 30 frozen cheese ravioli thawed
- 1 cup three cheese pasta sauce
- 1/4 cup half & half
- - pure vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup fancy shredded Italian style Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
Place buttermilk in a shallow dish and bread crumbs in a second shallow dish. Working in batches, dip ravioli in buttermilk and coat with bread crumbs. Set on a baking sheet.
In small microwaveable bowl, combine pasta sauce and half & half; heat on HIGH 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep warm.
Pour enough oil into a large skillet with high sides to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat oil over medium-high heat until oil reaches 325°F on a deep fry thermometer. Add ravioli in batches to hot oil; fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from oil with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Serve fried ravioli with warmed sauce for dipping.
