Missouri Toasted Ravioli

Missouri Toasted Ravioli is a delightful twist on traditional ravioli, featuring a crispy gluten-free breading that encases a savory filling. This dish is perfect for a cozy dinner, served with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free pasta sheets - 200 grams
• Ricotta cheese - 150 grams
• Parmesan cheese - 50 grams, grated
• Egg - 1 large
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Rice flour - 100 grams (for dusting)
• Almond flour - 100 grams (for breading)
• Egg - 1 large, for breading
• Olive oil - for frying
• Marinara sauce - for serving

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, 1 egg, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Roll out gluten-free pasta sheets to about 1-2 mm thickness. Cut into squares (approximately 10 cm x 10 cm).
3. Place a tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center of each pasta square. Fold over and seal the edges by pressing them together, ensuring no filling escapes.
4. Set up a breading station with rice flour in one bowl, a beaten egg in another bowl, and almond flour in a third bowl.
5. Coat each ravioli first in rice flour, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally coat in almond flour. Set aside on a plate.
6. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded ravioli in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
7. Remove the toasted ravioli from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
