TYPES OF RAVIOLI RECIPES

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and basil. Place flour and eggs in separate shallow bowls. Dip ravioli in flour to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in egg, then in crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere., In a deep cast-iron or electric skillet, heat 1/2 in. of oil to 375°. Fry ravioli, a few at a time, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. If desired, immediately sprinkle with basil and cheese. Serve warm with marinara sauce.

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the top third of the oven and heat the oven to broil on high.
• Quarter 1 pound cremini mushrooms. Mince 5 garlic cloves. Strip the leaves off 1 fresh rosemary sprig and coarsely chop. Finely grate 2 ounces Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese (about 1 packed cup).
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the unsalted butter in a broiler-safe large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sear, undisturbed, until the bottoms are well-browned, about 3 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring once or twice, until the mushrooms are browned all over and just tender, about 3 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Cut the remaining 3 tablespoons unsalted butter into 2 pieces and add it to the skillet along with the garlic and rosemary. Sauté until the mixture is saucy and very fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat and heat 1 tablespoon olive oil until shimmering. Add 2 (9 or 10-ounce) packages or 1 (20-ounce) package fresh or frozen cheese ravioli to the skillet, gently breaking apart any that might be stuck together. Sauté until golden brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Carefully add 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook until the ravioli is al dente and most of the water is absorbed, 3 to 5 minutes. Uncover and remove from the heat.
• Return the mushrooms and their sauce to the skillet. Add a handful of the grated cheese and gently toss to combine. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the top, then broil until the cheese melts and browns in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve garnished with more red pepper flakes, if desired.
