Test Kitchen Tips
  • Refrigerated tortellini also make delicious pops!
  • Plan ahead! Fry a big batch of these bad boys and freeze in a single layer. Then you can simply pop a few in a 425-degree oven and bake until they crisp up.
  • If you don't dig on spice, cut the heat by simply omitting the crushed red pepper flakes.

    Text Ingredients

    Directions

    1. In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs and seasonings. Place flour and eggs in separate shallow bowls. Dip ravioli into flour to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip into egg, then crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
    2. In a large electric or cast-iron skillet, heat 1/2 in. oil to 375°. Fry ravioli, a few at a time, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with cheese if desired. Carefully insert a lollipop stick into the back of each ravioli. Serve warm with marinara sauce and pesto.
