Directions

1. First, get a large frying pan and fill it with about 2 inches worth of the Olive Oil and cook it over a medium heat, let it deep-fry to about 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In the meantime, while the oil is heating for your fall dinner, take the buttermilk and the Italian-style bread crumbs in two separate shallow bowls. Then get out the ravioli and dip a batch at a time in the buttermilk making sure each ravioli gets evenly coated.
3. When the ravioli has been fully coated with the buttermilk, let the access buttermilk drain off and dredge them in the bread crumbs, then place them on a baking sheet and repeat the process for each of the ravioli.
4. Hopefully, the oil has reached the proper temperature, start frying the ravioli again in batches turning them occasionally until each side has turned a golden brown, which should take at least 3 minutes. Scoop out the readied ravioli with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels for them to drain.
   Sprinkle the fried ravioli with the Parmesan and warm up the marinara sauce. Pour the marinara sauce in a bowl and serve next to the ravioli and…Bon Appetite!
