Step-by-step
- Italian Style Fried Ravioli: After the cheese ravioli is thawed, pat dry and set aside. In a shallow bowl, beat 2 eggs with a capful of Mrs. Dash's Italian Seasoning Blend, mix well. In another bowl, place the Italian panko bread crumbs, add a dash or two of salt, and a couple of turns of freshly ground pepper, mix.
- Dredge the ravioli through the egg wash and then into the bread crumbs. Place on a large dish or platter. Continue until all the ravioli is covered in the bread crumbs.
- Heat the canola oil to medium-high heat and fry the ravioli 6 at a time. Keep the cooked ravioli warm until all are done. Serve with Marinara Sauce.
- Southwestern Fried Ravioli: After the meat & cheese ravioli is thawed, pat dry and set aside. In a shallow bowl, beat 2 eggs with a capful of Mrs. Dash's Southwest Seasoning Blend, mix well. In another bowl, place the plain panko bread crumbs, add a dash or two of salt, and a couple of turns of freshly ground pepper and the cayenne pepper, mix.

The Southwestern version adds a spicy kick with cayenne pepper and is served with a vibrant, homemade salsa. Both are equally satisfying and offer a delicious, easy dinner option for any night of the week.
