These were good, my oil was a little too hot at first, I used cheese raviloli. My kids and Dh ate them up. I would like to try them with beef raviloi next time.

This is sooooo time consuming but sooooo worth it. They are DELICIOUS! I think they might even be better than Olive Gardens. I used a deep fat fryer once to make them, and I can tell you I won't be doing that again. I've made them in a skillet with about 1-1/2" of oil, but next time, I'm going to try baking them. I don't know how well that will work, but I think it might make things go faster. These are definitely a special occasion appetizer. Thanks for posting. I've added this one to my "Permanent Collection" Smiles!

Oh yeah! These were part of "Appetizer Night" for dinner. I decided to bake half of them; and deep fry the other half. The baked half didn't go over as well (need the grease I guess), but since baking was not part of the original recipe, this still gets the 5 stars. These are about as close to Olive Garden as you're going to get in your home kitchen, IMHO. Shaking the ravioli and breadcrumbs in a large plastic ziploc bag is a little bit of a time saver in this; so is an extra set of hands. I will most definitely be making these again because everyone enjoyed them so much, I won't be allowed not to.

I've been wanting to try this recipe for a long time, but could never find the meat filled ravioli at the store! Very good, but boy was this a lot of work! Not difficult, just time consuming. And I didn't realize that I bought a 25 oz bag of ravioli, instead of the 16 oz the recipe calls for. I thought I'd never finish! It took me over a half hour to make it all. I did have trouble with the coating. The egg didn't want to cover the flour. With no egg, the bread crumbs wouldn't stick. Maybe I needed to soak it longer...it did seem to stay on when I got down to the bottom of the bowl. By that time, the added flour in the egg bowl made the egg mixture into more of a paste. I did try variations with the order, but flour, egg, then bread crumbs worked the best. We loved it, but I don't think I'll make it again - at least not without help!
