Be sure to make enough of these crispy, coated ravioli. They're bound to be the hit of your party. The golden-brown pillows are easy to pick up and dip in tomatoey sauce. —Kate Dampier, Quail Valley, California

Tip

Parmesan Pointers

When a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

It might have been considered low fat because it has less than 1g. per ravioli. When I submitted the recipe, it was not under a low fat category.

These were delicious and for others out there watching their calories, the nutritional information is listed above. if you feel this isn't an appropriate recipe for your diet, then so be it. But you don't need to make such negative comments, keep them to yourself. Didn't your mother ever teach you manners? Thanks for a great recipe!

I didn't make this, but how can this possibly be in the category of "Low Fat" recipes? Does anyone review these before they get categorized? Fried cheese is not a low fat item.
