Ingredients
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian-style)
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 2 cups marinara sauce (for serving)
- 10 g fresh basil (chopped, for garnish)
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 500 g ravioli (cheese-filled)

Instructions
- Begin by heating the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
- Take each ravioli, coat it in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and then roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
