Crispy Ravioli

Rafi has started following my blog. Hi, Rafi! Wasn’t dinner delicious tonight? I’m posting this here so we remember to eat it again! It’s taken from a recipe that appeared in Eating Well last month.

Ingredients:

• Fresh Ravioli (I used two packages from Trader Joe’s; one had arugula, one had sundried tomatoes. It was just enough for our family of four hearty eaters.)
• Two cups panko
• Half a cup grated Parmesan
• Oregano, thyme, chili flakes
• One egg
• Cooking spray

For the sauce: (which was so delicious I had to make a send batch. I was eating it like soup)

• Three cups tomato sauce (I used TJ’s tomato basil)
• Two cubes frozen garlic
• A teaspoon of chili flakes
• Two cups frozen spinach

Steps:

1. Mix the egg in a bowl with a little water
2. Mix the panko, parm, and seasonings in a second bowl
3. Spray a cookie sheet with the cooking spray
4. Preheat the oven to 450
5. Dip each ravioli in the egg, then roll it in the panko mix, then put it on the cookie sheet. Spray the top of raviolis with a little cooking spray.
6. Pop into the oven for about ten minutes. Keep an eye on it to make sure it’s not burning.
7. Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl and microwave until hot
8. We dipped our ravioli into the sauce – so delicious!

We ate this with steamed artichokes, which was perfect. Let me know if you try it. I’m excited to try it out with different ravioli flavors!

Quiche!
