Notes
Expert Tips
- Do not overcrowd the pan while frying.
- The oil should not be too hot or too cold. If it is hot, it will turn brown faster on the outside, and if it is cold, it will absorb excess oil.
- To check if the oil is hot, add a piece of dough and check if it sizzles and comes up.
- If you want to avoid frying: In a large pot, add the water and bring it to a nice boil. Add the ravioli and cook them until they float, and then drain. This would take about 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat the process for the remaining dough. This would be a healthier version of the ravioli compared to deep-fried ravioli.
- Serving suggestion - Serve it with marinara sauce for dipping and garnish with chopped spring onions and grated parmesan. As this is an appetizer, it pairs well with a soup such as creamy broccoli soup or salads such as healthy quinoa salad.
- Make Ahead and Storage Instructions - Uncooked ravioli can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months in freezer-safe bags. Fried ravioli is best eaten fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer, or fry them again in oil until crisp. When reheated in a microwave, fried ravioli can turn chewy.
