Crispy Fried Spinach Cheese Ravioli

By

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stock) butter
  • 1 (36 oz) pkg. spinach and cheese ravioli (costco)
  • 1 (22 oz) jar Kirkland Signature by Cibo Pesto Sauce
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese. optional
  • pinch red pepper flakes, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Add a portion of the oil and butter to a large (12") skillet and heat over medium heat. When the butter begins to foam, add about 1/4 of the ravioli. Saute on one side for 2 minutes, or until they are golden brown and begin to develop bubbles on the surface. The heat should not be above a medium range, so as to brown the ravioli but not burn it.

When the first side is browned, turn the ravioli over. When they are golden brown, remove from the pan and place on a dry paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Repeat the above process until you've cooked enough ravioli to meet your needs. Place the ravioli on a platter and drizzle with pesto sauce or serve the sauce in a bowl for dipping.

For extra flavor, combine grated parmesan, salt and red pepper flakes. Lightly toss the ravioli in the mixture before serving.
