Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
-
Preheat your oven to 370°F (187°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.

Dip each ravioli into the egg mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.

Arrange the coated ravioli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake

Tips for Best Results

For extra crispiness, flip the ravioli halfway through baking.
-
Use freshly grated Parmesan for better texture and flavor.

Try different fillings like spinach and ricotta or mushroom ravioli for a twist.
Make Ahead & Storage
-
Make Ahead: Bread the ravioli up to 4 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
-
Refrigerator: Store baked leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 6–8 minutes.
-
Freezer: Breaded, uncooked ravioli can be frozen for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding an extra 4–5 minutes to the cooking time.
Timing
-
Prep Time: 10 minutes
-
Cook Time: 10–12 minutes
-
Total Time: ~20–22 minutes
Tips:
- If using frozen ravioli, there’s no need to thaw them first.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
- Monitor the ravioli closely as oven temperatures can vary; they can go from golden to burnt quickly.
What is Marinara Sauce?
The classic Marinara sauce tastes like sweet and free tomato juice and is usually made with tomatoes, onions, garlic, and herbs. You can also add in olives, spices, and a little wine. It is rich in olive oil and has a smooth texture. The secret to making the perfect marinara sauce is to cook at a very low heat so that the tomatoes don’t lose that beautiful smell and make them thick. Classic homemade marinara is better than any jarred sauce. This sauce’s origin is Italian and is widely used in Italian-American cuisine, but it is also popular worldwide.
