    Crispy breaded toasted ravioli with marinara dipping sauce

    Breaded ravioli fried until golden and crisp, served with warm marinara for dipping — a St. Louis original.

    The Hill’s happy accident

    Born in St. Louis’s Italian neighborhood, toasted ravioli is breaded, fried pasta pockets — crunchy outside, molten cheese inside.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Thaw the ravioli slightly, then pat dry.
    2. Whisk the eggs and milk in one dish; mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, and salt in another.
    3. Dredge each ravioli in the egg, then press into the breadcrumbs, coating completely.
    4. Heat 2 inches of oil to 350°F and fry the ravioli in batches 2-3 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp.
    5. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with warm marinara, extra Parmesan, and basil.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Freeze the breaded ravioli for 15 minutes before frying so the coating stays put. Serve immediately — they're best while the cheese is molten.
